Psalms 103

1 [A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all [that is] within me, [bless] his holy name.

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

2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his praises:

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

3 who forgives all your transgressions, who heals all your diseases;

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

4 who redeems your life from corruption; who crowns you with mercy and compassion;

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

5 who satisfies your desire with good things: [so that] your youth shall be renewed like [that] of the eagle.

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

6 The Lord executes mercy and judgment for all that are injured.

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

7 He made known his ways to Moses, his will to the children of Israel.

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

8 The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, longsuffering, and full of mercy.

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

9 He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever.

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

10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed us according to our iniquities.

He has not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us 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 the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

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

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

13 As a father pities [his] children, the Lord pities them that fear him.

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

14 For he knows our frame: remember that we are dust.

For 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 shall he flourish.

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

16 For the wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know its place no more.

For the wind passes over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know 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 mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on them that fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children;

18 to them that keep his covenant, and remember his commandments to do them.

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

19 The Lord has prepared his throne in the heaven; and his kingdom rules over all.

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

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

21 Bless the Lord, all you his hosts; [you] ministers of his that do his will.

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

22 Bless the Lord, all his works, in every place of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.

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