< Psalms 103 >
1 [A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all [that is] within me, [bless] his holy name.
A Psalme of David. My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and all that is within me, prayse his holy Name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his praises:
My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and forget not all his benefites.
3 who forgives all your transgressions, who heals all your diseases;
Which forgiueth all thine iniquitie, and healeth all thine infirmities.
4 who redeems your life from corruption; who crowns you with mercy and compassion;
Which redeemeth thy life from the graue, and crowneth thee with mercy and compassions.
5 who satisfies your desire with good things: [so that] your youth shall be renewed like [that] of the eagle.
Which satisfieth thy mouth with good things: and thy youth is renued like the eagles.
6 The Lord executes mercy and judgment for all that are injured.
The Lord executeth righteousnes and iudgement to all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, his will to the children of Israel.
He made his wayes knowen vnto Moses, and his workes vnto the children of Israel.
8 The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, longsuffering, and full of mercy.
The Lord is full of compassion and mercie, slowe to anger and of great kindnesse.
9 He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever.
He will not alway chide, neither keepe his anger for euer.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed us according to our iniquities.
He hath not dealt with vs after our sinnes, nor rewarded vs according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord has [so] increased his mercy toward them that fear him.
For as high as the heauen is aboue ye earth, so great is his mercie toward them that feare him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, [so far] has he removed our transgressions from us.
As farre as the East is from the West: so farre hath he remooued our sinnes from vs.
13 As a father pities [his] children, the Lord pities them that fear him.
As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that feare him.
14 For he knows our frame: remember that we are dust.
For he knoweth whereof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust.
15 [As for] man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so shall he flourish.
The dayes of man are as grasse: as a flowre of the fielde, so florisheth he.
16 For the wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know its place no more.
For the winde goeth ouer it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall knowe it no more.
17 But the mercy of the Lord is from generation to generation upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children's children;
But the louing kindnesse of the Lord endureth for euer and euer vpon them that feare him, and his righteousnes vpon childrens children,
18 to them that keep his covenant, and remember his commandments to do them.
Vnto them that keepe his couenant, and thinke vpon his commandements to doe them.
19 The Lord has prepared his throne in the heaven; and his kingdom rules over all.
The Lord hath prepared his throne in heauen, and his Kingdome ruleth ouer all.
20 Bless the Lord, all you his angels, mighty in strength, who perform his bidding, [ready] to listen to the voice of his words.
Prayse the Lord, ye his Angels, that excell in strength, that doe his commandement in obeying the voyce of his worde.
21 Bless the Lord, all you his hosts; [you] ministers of his that do his will.
Prayse the Lord, all ye his hostes, ye his seruants that doe his pleasure.
22 Bless the Lord, all his works, in every place of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.
Prayse the Lord, all ye his workes, in all places of his dominion: my soule, prayse thou the Lord.
