Psalms 103
1 [By David.] Praise the LORD, my soul, and all that is within me, praise his holy name.
For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name.
2 Praise the LORD, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits;
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.
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 mercy and compassion.
5 who satisfies your desire with good things; your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The LORD executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.
The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel.
He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
The ford is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.
9 He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten 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 according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards 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 iniquities from us.
13 Like a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on 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.
Man’s days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no more.
17 But the LORD'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 eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him: And his justice unto 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 are mindful of his commandments to do them.
19 The LORD has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.
20 Praise the LORD, all you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.
Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.
21 Praise the LORD, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.
22 Praise the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul.
Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
