Psalms 103
1 Bless Yhwh, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
BY DAVID. Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And all my inward parts—His Holy Name.
2 Bless Yhwh, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And do not forget all His benefits,
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Who is forgiving all your iniquities, Who is healing all your diseases,
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
Who is redeeming your life from destruction, Who is crowning you [with] kindness and mercies,
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Who is satisfying your desire with good, Your youth renews itself as an eagle.
6 Yhwh executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
YHWH is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
He makes His ways known to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.
8 Yhwh is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
YHWH [is] merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
He does not strive forever, Nor does He watch for all time.
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us 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 the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
For as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness has been mighty over those fearing Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
He has put our transgressions far from us—as the distance of east from west.
13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so Yhwh pitieth them that fear him.
As a father has mercy on sons, YHWH has mercy on those fearing Him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
For He has known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
Mortal man! His days [are] as grass, He flourishes as a flower of the field;
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know 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 mercy of Yhwh is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;
And the kindness of YHWH [Is] from age even to age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons’ sons,
18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
19 Yhwh hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
YHWH has established His throne in the heavens, And His kingdom has ruled over all.
20 Bless Yhwh, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Bless YHWH, you His messengers, Mighty in power—doing His word, To listen to the voice of His word.
21 Bless ye Yhwh, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
Bless YHWH, all you His hosts, His ministers—doing His pleasure.
22 Bless Yhwh, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless Yhwh, O my soul.
Bless YHWH, all you His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, YHWH!
