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 benefits!
3 Who is forgiving all your iniquities, Who is healing all your diseases,
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who is redeeming your life from destruction, Who is crowning you [with] kindness and mercies,
Who redeemeth thy life from the grave; Who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;
5 Who is satisfying your desire with good, Your youth renews itself as an eagle.
Who satisfieth thine old age with good, So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 YHWH is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
The LORD executeth justice And equity for all the oppressed.
7 He makes His ways known to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.
He made known his ways to Moses, His doings to the children of Israel.
8 YHWH [is] merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
The LORD is merciful and kind, Slow to anger and rich in mercy.
9 He does not strive forever, Nor does He watch for all time.
He doth not always chide, Nor doth 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 hath not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor requited 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.
As high as are the heavens above the earth, So great is his mercy to 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 hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father has mercy on sons, YHWH has mercy on those fearing Him.
Even as a father pitieth his children, So the LORD pitieth them 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, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For a wind has passed over it, and it is not, And its place does not discern it anymore.
The wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And its place 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 to 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 remember his commandments to do them.
19 YHWH has established His throne in the heavens, And His kingdom has ruled over all.
The LORD hath established his throne in the heavens, 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, Ye mighty ones who do his commands, Hearkening to the voice of his word!
21 Bless YHWH, all you His hosts, His ministers—doing His pleasure.
Bless the LORD, all ye his hosts; Ye, his ministers, who 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!
