Psalms 103
1 BY DAVID. Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And all my inward parts—His Holy Name.
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 benefits:
3 Who is forgiving all your iniquities, Who is healing all your diseases,
Who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases;
4 Who is redeeming your life from destruction, Who is crowning you [with] kindness and mercies,
Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;
5 Who is satisfying your desire with good, Your youth renews itself as an eagle.
Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 YHWH is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
The LORD executes righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 He makes His ways known to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.
He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the children of Israel.
8 YHWH [is] merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9 He does not strive forever, Nor does He watch for all time.
He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger 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 after our sins; nor rewarded 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, so great is 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.
Like as a father pities his children, so the LORD pities them that fear him.
14 For He has known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
For he knows our frame; he remembers 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 he flourishes.
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 is gone; and the place thereof shall know it 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 everlasting to everlasting on 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 such as keep his covenant, and to those that 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 heavens; 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, you his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening to the voice of his word.
21 Bless YHWH, all you His hosts, His ministers—doing His pleasure.
Bless you the LORD, all you his hosts; you ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
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 all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
