< Psalms 103 >

1 A Psalme of David. My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and all that is within me, prayse his holy Name.
“A psalm of David.” Bless the LORD, O my soul! And all that is within me, bless his holy name!
2 My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and forget not all his benefites.
Bless the LORD, O my soul! And forget not all his benefits!
3 Which forgiueth all thine iniquitie, and healeth all thine infirmities.
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Which redeemeth thy life from the graue, and crowneth thee with mercy and compassions.
Who redeemeth thy life from the grave; Who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;
5 Which satisfieth thy mouth with good things: and thy youth is renued like the eagles.
Who satisfieth thine old age with good, So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 The Lord executeth righteousnes and iudgement to all that are oppressed.
The LORD executeth justice And equity for all the oppressed.
7 He made his wayes knowen vnto Moses, and his workes vnto the children of Israel.
He made known his ways to Moses, His doings to the children of Israel.
8 The Lord is full of compassion and mercie, slowe to anger and of great kindnesse.
The LORD is merciful and kind, Slow to anger and rich in mercy.
9 He will not alway chide, neither keepe his anger for euer.
He doth not always chide, Nor doth he keep his anger for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with vs after our sinnes, nor rewarded vs according to our iniquities.
He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor requited us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heauen is aboue ye earth, so great is his mercie toward them that feare him.
As high as are the heavens above the earth, So great is his mercy to them 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 our transgressions from us.
13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that feare him.
Even as a father pitieth his children, So the LORD pitieth them 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, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For the winde goeth ouer it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall knowe it no more.
The wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And its place shall know 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 mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting to them that fear him, And his righteousness to 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 remember his commandments to do them.
19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heauen, and his Kingdome ruleth ouer all.
The LORD hath established his throne in the heavens, 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, Ye mighty ones who do his commands, Hearkening to the voice of his word!
21 Prayse the Lord, all ye his hostes, ye his seruants that doe his pleasure.
Bless the LORD, all ye his hosts; Ye, his ministers, who do his pleasure!
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 places of his dominion! Bless the LORD, O my soul!
