Psalms 103

1 “Of David.” Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and all that is within me, his holy name.

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

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

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

3 Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

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

4 Who redeemeth from the pit thy life; who crowneth thee with kindness and mercies;

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

5 Who satisfieth with happiness thy spirit, so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's [plumage].

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

6 The Lord executeth righteousness, and justice for all that are oppressed.

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

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

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

8 Merciful and gracious is the Lord, long-suffering and abundant in kindness.

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

9 Not for all eternity will he contend; nor will he for ever retain his anger.

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

10 Not in accordance with our sins hath he dealt with us; nor according to our iniquities hath he requited us.

He has not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us 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 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 hath he removed from us our transgressions.

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

13 As a father hath mercy on his children, so hath the Lord mercy on those that fear him.

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

14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

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

15 As for man, like the grass are his days: as the blossom of the field, so doth he bloom.

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

16 When a wind but passeth over it, it is gone, and its place will recognize it no more.

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

18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those who remember his precepts to execute them.

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

19 The Lord hath established in the heavens his throne; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

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

20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

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

21 Bless ye the Lord, all his hosts, ye his ministers, that execute 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 all the places of his dominion; bless, O my soul, the Lord.

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