Psalms 103

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Of David. O my soul, bless the Lord; and all that is in me, his holy name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

O my soul, bless the Lord; and forget not one of his benefits.

3 Who forgives all of your iniquities; who heals all your diseases;

He pardons all your sins, he heals all your diseases.

4 Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;

He ransoms your life from the pit, he crowns you with kindness and pity.

5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

He gives you your heart’s desire, renewing your youth like the eagle’s.

6 The LORD executes righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

The Lord executes justice – and right for all who are wronged.

7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

He revealed his ways to Moses, his acts to the children of Israel.

8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

Full of pity and grace is the Lord, patient, and rich in kindness:

9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

he will not always chide, nor cherish his anger forever.

10 He has not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

Not after our sins has he dealt with us, nor requited us after our wickedness.

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

For high as the heavens o’er the earth is his love over those who fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

Far as is east from the west has he put our transgressions from us.

13 Like a father pities his children, so the LORD pities them that fear him.

As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear him;

14 For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.

for well he knows our frame, he remembers that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

A person’s days are as grass; blossoms like a flower of the meadow.

16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

At the breath of the wind it is gone, and the place thereof knows it no more.

17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

But the love of the Lord is eternal, and his kindness to children’s children,

18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

to those who keep his covenant and mindfully do his behests.

19 The LORD has prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom rules over all.

The Lord has set his throne in the heavens; the whole world is under his sway.

20 Bless the LORD, all of you his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Bless the Lord, you angels of his, mighty heroes performing his word.

21 Bless all of you the LORD, all you his hosts; all of you ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

Bless the Lord, all you his hosts, you servants who do his will.

22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

Bless the Lord, all you his works, far as his sway extends. O my soul, bless the Lord.
