Psalms 103
1 A Psalme of David. My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and all that is within me, prayse his holy Name.
“Of David.” Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and all that is within me, his holy name.
2 My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and forget not all his benefites.
Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Which forgiueth all thine iniquitie, and healeth all thine infirmities.
Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Which redeemeth thy life from the graue, and crowneth thee with mercy and compassions.
Who redeemeth from the pit thy life; who crowneth thee with kindness and mercies;
5 Which satisfieth thy mouth with good things: and thy youth is renued like the eagles.
Who satisfieth with happiness thy spirit, so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's [plumage].
6 The Lord executeth righteousnes and iudgement to all that are oppressed.
The Lord executeth righteousness, and justice for all that are oppressed.
7 He made his wayes knowen vnto Moses, and his workes vnto the children of Israel.
He made known his ways unto Moses, unto the children of Israel his acts.
8 The Lord is full of compassion and mercie, slowe to anger and of great kindnesse.
Merciful and gracious is the Lord, long-suffering and abundant in kindness.
9 He will not alway chide, neither keepe his anger for euer.
Not for all eternity will he contend; nor will he for ever retain his anger.
10 He hath not dealt with vs after our sinnes, nor rewarded vs according to our iniquities.
Not in accordance with our sins hath he dealt with us; nor according to our iniquities hath he requited us.
11 For as high as the heauen is aboue ye earth, so great is his mercie toward them that feare him.
For as high as heaven is above the earth, so mighty is his kindness toward those that fear him.
12 As farre as the East is from the West: so farre hath he remooued our sinnes from vs.
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed from us our transgressions.
13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that feare him.
As a father hath mercy on his children, so hath the Lord mercy on those that fear him.
14 For he knoweth whereof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust.
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15 The dayes of man are as grasse: as a flowre of the fielde, so florisheth he.
As for man, like the grass are his days: as the blossom of the field, so doth he bloom.
16 For the winde goeth ouer it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall knowe it no more.
When a wind but passeth over it, it is gone, and its place will recognize it no more.
17 But the louing kindnesse of the Lord endureth for euer and euer vpon them that feare him, and his righteousnes vpon childrens children,
But the kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting over those that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,
18 Vnto them that keepe his couenant, and thinke vpon his commandements to doe them.
To such as keep his covenant, and to those who remember his precepts to execute them.
19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heauen, and his Kingdome ruleth ouer all.
The Lord hath established in the heavens his throne; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Prayse the Lord, ye his Angels, that excell in strength, that doe his commandement in obeying the voyce of his worde.
Bless the Lord, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Prayse the Lord, all ye his hostes, ye his seruants that doe his pleasure.
Bless ye the Lord, all his hosts, ye his ministers, that execute his will.
22 Prayse the Lord, all ye his workes, in all places of his dominion: my soule, prayse thou the Lord.
Bless the Lord, all his works, in all the places of his dominion; bless, O my soul, the Lord.
