< Psalms 103 >
1 A Psalme of David. My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and all that is within me, prayse his holy Name.
BY DAVID. Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And all my inward parts—His Holy Name.
2 My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and forget not all his benefites.
Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And do not forget all His benefits,
3 Which forgiueth all thine iniquitie, and healeth all thine infirmities.
Who is forgiving all your iniquities, Who is healing all your diseases,
4 Which redeemeth thy life from the graue, and crowneth thee with mercy and compassions.
Who is redeeming your life from destruction, Who is crowning you [with] kindness and mercies,
5 Which satisfieth thy mouth with good things: and thy youth is renued like the eagles.
Who is satisfying your desire with good, Your youth renews itself as an eagle.
6 The Lord executeth righteousnes and iudgement to all that are oppressed.
YHWH is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
7 He made his wayes knowen vnto Moses, and his workes vnto the children of Israel.
He makes His ways known to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.
8 The Lord is full of compassion and mercie, slowe to anger and of great kindnesse.
YHWH [is] merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9 He will not alway chide, neither keepe his anger for euer.
He does not strive forever, Nor does He watch for all time.
10 He hath not dealt with vs after our sinnes, nor rewarded vs according to our iniquities.
He has not done to us according to our sins, Nor according to our iniquities Has He conferred benefits on us.
11 For as high as the heauen is aboue ye earth, so great is his mercie toward them that feare him.
For as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness has been mighty over those fearing Him.
12 As farre as the East is from the West: so farre hath he remooued our sinnes from vs.
He has put our transgressions far from us—as the distance of east from west.
13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that feare him.
As a father has mercy on sons, YHWH has mercy on those fearing Him.
14 For he knoweth whereof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust.
For He has known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
15 The dayes of man are as grasse: as a flowre of the fielde, so florisheth he.
Mortal man! His days [are] as grass, He flourishes as a flower of the field;
16 For the winde goeth ouer it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall knowe it no more.
For a wind has passed over it, and it is not, And its place does not discern it anymore.
17 But the louing kindnesse of the Lord endureth for euer and euer vpon them that feare him, and his righteousnes vpon childrens children,
And the kindness of YHWH [Is] from age even to age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons’ sons,
18 Vnto them that keepe his couenant, and thinke vpon his commandements to doe them.
To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heauen, and his Kingdome ruleth ouer all.
YHWH has established His throne in the heavens, And His kingdom has ruled 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 YHWH, you His messengers, Mighty in power—doing His word, To listen to the voice of His word.
21 Prayse the Lord, all ye his hostes, ye his seruants that doe his pleasure.
Bless YHWH, all you His hosts, His ministers—doing His pleasure.
22 Prayse the Lord, all ye his workes, in all places of his dominion: my soule, prayse thou the Lord.
Bless YHWH, all you His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, YHWH!
