Psalms 103
1 BY DAVID. Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And all my inward parts—His Holy Name.
“Of David.” Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and all that is within me, his holy name.
2 Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And do not forget all His benefits,
Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who is forgiving all your iniquities, Who is healing all your diseases,
Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who is redeeming your life from destruction, Who is crowning you [with] kindness and mercies,
Who redeemeth from the pit thy life; who crowneth thee with kindness and mercies;
5 Who is satisfying your desire with good, Your youth renews itself as an eagle.
Who satisfieth with happiness thy spirit, so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's [plumage].
6 YHWH is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
The Lord executeth righteousness, and justice 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 unto Moses, unto the children of Israel his acts.
8 YHWH [is] merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
Merciful and gracious is the Lord, long-suffering and abundant in kindness.
9 He does not strive forever, Nor does He watch for all time.
Not for all eternity will he contend; nor will he for ever retain his anger.
10 He has not done to us according to our sins, Nor according to our iniquities Has He conferred benefits on us.
Not in accordance with our sins hath he dealt with us; nor according to our iniquities hath he requited us.
11 For as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness has been mighty over those fearing Him.
For as high as heaven is above the earth, so mighty is his kindness toward those 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 hath he removed from us our transgressions.
13 As a father has mercy on sons, YHWH has mercy on those fearing Him.
As a father hath mercy on his children, so hath the Lord mercy on those that fear him.
14 For He has known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15 Mortal man! His days [are] as grass, He flourishes as a flower of the field;
As for man, like the grass are his days: as the blossom of the field, so doth he bloom.
16 For a wind has passed over it, and it is not, And its place does not discern it anymore.
When a wind but passeth over it, it is gone, and its place will recognize 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 kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting over those that fear him, and his righteousness unto 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 who remember his precepts to execute them.
19 YHWH has established His throne in the heavens, And His kingdom has ruled over all.
The Lord hath established in the heavens his throne; and his kingdom ruleth 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, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Bless YHWH, all you His hosts, His ministers—doing His pleasure.
Bless ye the Lord, all his hosts, ye his ministers, that execute 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 all the places of his dominion; bless, O my soul, the Lord.
