< Psalms 103 >
1 [By David.] Praise Jehovah, my soul, and all that is within me, praise his holy name.
A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Praise Jehovah, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits;
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases;
Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 who satisfies your desire with good things; your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 Jehovah executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.
The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel.
He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the children of Israel.
8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9 He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.
He hath not dealt with us according to our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like a father has compassion on his children, so Jehovah has compassion on those who fear him.
Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and its place shall know it no more.
17 But Jehovah's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children's children;
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children;
18 to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.
To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19 Jehovah has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Praise Jehovah, all you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.
Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening to the voice of his word.
21 Praise Jehovah, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22 Praise Jehovah, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise Jehovah, my soul.
Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
