Psalms 103
1 “Of David.” Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and all that is within me, 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, O my soul, the Lord, and forget not all his benefits:
My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and forget not all his benefites.
3 Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Which forgiueth all thine iniquitie, and healeth all thine infirmities.
4 Who redeemeth from the pit thy life; who crowneth thee with kindness and mercies;
Which redeemeth thy life from the graue, and crowneth thee with mercy and compassions.
5 Who satisfieth with happiness thy spirit, so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's [plumage].
Which satisfieth thy mouth with good things: and thy youth is renued like the eagles.
6 The Lord executeth righteousness, and justice for all that are oppressed.
The Lord executeth righteousnes and iudgement to all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, unto the children of Israel his acts.
He made his wayes knowen vnto Moses, and his workes vnto the children of Israel.
8 Merciful and gracious is the Lord, long-suffering and abundant in kindness.
The Lord is full of compassion and mercie, slowe to anger and of great kindnesse.
9 Not for all eternity will he contend; nor will he for ever retain his anger.
He will not alway chide, neither keepe his anger for euer.
10 Not in accordance with our sins hath he dealt with us; nor according to our iniquities hath he requited us.
He hath not dealt with vs after our sinnes, nor rewarded vs according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as heaven is above the earth, so mighty is his kindness toward those 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 hath he removed from us our transgressions.
As farre as the East is from the West: so farre hath he remooued our sinnes from vs.
13 As a father hath mercy on his children, so hath the Lord mercy on those that fear him.
As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that feare him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
For he knoweth whereof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust.
15 As for man, like the grass are his days: as the blossom of the field, so doth he bloom.
The dayes of man are as grasse: as a flowre of the fielde, so florisheth he.
16 When a wind but passeth over it, it is gone, and its place will recognize it no more.
For the winde goeth ouer it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall knowe it no more.
17 But the kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting over those that fear him, and his righteousness unto 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 such as keep his covenant, and to those who remember his precepts to execute them.
Vnto them that keepe his couenant, and thinke vpon his commandements to doe them.
19 The Lord hath established in the heavens his throne; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
The Lord hath prepared his throne in heauen, and his Kingdome ruleth ouer all.
20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Prayse the Lord, ye his Angels, that excell in strength, that doe his commandement in obeying the voyce of his worde.
21 Bless ye the Lord, all his hosts, ye his ministers, that execute his will.
Prayse the Lord, all ye his hostes, ye his seruants that doe his pleasure.
22 Bless the Lord, all his works, in all the places of his dominion; bless, O my soul, the Lord.
Prayse the Lord, all ye his workes, in all places of his dominion: my soule, prayse thou the Lord.
