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 destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies:
5 Who is satisfying your desire with good, Your youth renews itself as an eagle.
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; [so that] thy youth is renewed like the eagle.
6 YHWH is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
The LORD executeth righteous acts, and judgments 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, his doings unto the children of Israel.
8 YHWH [is] merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
The LORD is full of compassion 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 hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us after 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 hath 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 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.
For the wind passeth 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 upon them 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 that remember his precepts 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 angels of his: ye mighty in strength, that fulfill his word, hearkening unto 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 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 ye his works, in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
