Psalms 103

1 BY DAVID. Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And all my inward parts—His Holy Name.

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

2 Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And do not forget all His benefits,

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

3 Who is forgiving all your iniquities, Who is healing all your diseases,

who forgives all thy transgressions, who heals all thy diseases;

4 Who is redeeming your life from destruction, Who is crowning you [with] kindness and mercies,

who redeems thy life from corruption; who crowns thee with mercy and compassion;

5 Who is satisfying your desire with good, Your youth renews itself as an eagle.

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

6 YHWH is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.

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

7 He makes His ways known to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.

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

8 YHWH [is] merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, long-suffering, and full of mercy.

9 He does not strive forever, Nor does He watch for all time.

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

10 He has not done to us according to our sins, Nor according to our iniquities Has He conferred benefits on us.

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

11 For as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness has been mighty over those fearing Him.

For as the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord has [so] increased his mercy toward them that fear him.

12 He has put our transgressions far from us—as the distance of east from west.

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

13 As a father has mercy on sons, YHWH has mercy on those fearing Him.

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

14 For He has known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.

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

15 Mortal man! His days [are] as grass, He flourishes as a flower of the field;

[As for] man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so shall he flourish.

16 For a wind has passed over it, and it is not, And its place does not discern it anymore.

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

17 And the kindness of YHWH [Is] from age even to age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons’ sons,

But the mercy of the Lord is from generation to generation upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children's children;

18 To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.

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

19 YHWH has established His throne in the heavens, And His kingdom has ruled over all.

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

20 Bless YHWH, you His messengers, Mighty in power—doing His word, To listen to the voice of His word.

Bless the Lord, all ye his angels, mighty in strength, who perform his bidding, [ready] to hearken to the voice of his words.

21 Bless YHWH, all you His hosts, His ministers—doing His pleasure.

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

22 Bless YHWH, all you His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, YHWH!

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