< Psalms 103 >

1 [By David.] Praise YHWH, my soul, and all that is within me, praise his holy name.
לְדָוִ֙ד ׀ בָּרֲכִ֣י נַ֭פְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה וְכָל־קְ֝רָבַ֗י אֶת־שֵׁ֥ם קָדְשֹֽׁו׃
2 Praise YHWH, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits;
בָּרֲכִ֣י נַ֭פְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה וְאַל־תִּ֝שְׁכְּחִ֗י כָּל־גְּמוּלָֽיו׃
3 who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases;
הַסֹּלֵ֥חַ לְכָל־עֲוֹנֵ֑כִי הָ֝רֹפֵ֗א לְכָל־תַּחֲלֻאָֽיְכִי׃
4 who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;
הַגֹּואֵ֣ל מִשַּׁ֣חַת חַיָּ֑יְכִי הַֽ֝מְעַטְּרֵ֗כִי חֶ֣סֶד וְרַחֲמִֽים׃
5 who satisfies your desire with good things; your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
הַמַּשְׂבִּ֣יַע בַּטֹּ֣וב עֶדְיֵ֑ךְ תִּתְחַדֵּ֖שׁ כַּנֶּ֣שֶׁר נְעוּרָֽיְכִי׃
6 YHWH executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.
עֹשֵׂ֣ה צְדָקֹ֣ות יְהוָ֑ה וּ֝מִשְׁפָּטִ֗ים לְכָל־עֲשׁוּקִֽים׃
7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel.
יֹודִ֣יעַ דְּרָכָ֣יו לְמֹשֶׁ֑ה לִבְנֵ֥י יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל עֲלִילֹֽותָיו׃
8 YHWH is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
רַח֣וּם וְחַנּ֣וּן יְהוָ֑ה אֶ֖רֶךְ אַפַּ֣יִם וְרַב־חָֽסֶד׃
9 He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
לֹֽא־לָנֶ֥צַח יָרִ֑יב וְלֹ֖א לְעֹולָ֣ם יִטֹּֽור׃
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.
לֹ֣א כַ֭חֲטָאֵינוּ עָ֣שָׂה לָ֑נוּ וְלֹ֥א כַ֝עֲוֹנֹתֵ֗ינוּ גָּמַ֥ל עָלֵֽינוּ׃
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
כִּ֤י כִגְבֹ֣הַּ שָׁ֭מַיִם עַל־הָאָ֑רֶץ גָּבַ֥ר חַ֝סְדֹּ֗ו עַל־יְרֵאָֽיו׃
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
כִּרְחֹ֣ק מִ֭זְרָח מִֽמַּֽעֲרָ֑ב הִֽרְחִ֥יק מִ֝מֶּ֗נּוּ אֶת־פְּשָׁעֵֽינוּ׃
13 Like a father has compassion on his children, so YHWH has compassion on those who fear him.
כְּרַחֵ֣ם אָ֭ב עַל־בָּנִ֑ים רִחַ֥ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה עַל־יְרֵאָֽיו׃
14 For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
כִּי־ה֖וּא יָדַ֣ע יִצְרֵ֑נוּ זָ֝כ֗וּר כִּי־עָפָ֥ר אֲנָֽחְנוּ׃
15 As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
אֱ֭נֹושׁ כֶּחָצִ֣יר יָמָ֑יו כְּצִ֥יץ הַ֝שָּׂדֶ֗ה כֵּ֣ן יָצִֽיץ׃
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
כִּ֤י ר֣וּחַ עָֽבְרָה־בֹּ֣ו וְאֵינֶ֑נּוּ וְלֹא־יַכִּירֶ֖נּוּ עֹ֣וד מְקֹומֹֽו׃
17 But YHWH's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children's children;
וְחֶ֤סֶד יְהוָ֙ה ׀ מֵעֹולָ֣ם וְעַד־עֹ֭ולָם עַל־יְרֵאָ֑יו וְ֝צִדְקָתֹ֗ו לִבְנֵ֥י בָנִֽים׃
18 to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.
לְשֹׁמְרֵ֥י בְרִיתֹ֑ו וּלְזֹכְרֵ֥י פִ֝קֻּדָ֗יו לַעֲשֹׂותָֽם׃
19 YHWH has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
יְֽהוָ֗ה בַּ֭שָּׁמַיִם הֵכִ֣ין כִּסְאֹ֑ו וּ֝מַלְכוּתֹ֗ו בַּכֹּ֥ל מָשָֽׁלָה׃
20 Praise YHWH, all you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.
בָּרֲכ֥וּ יְהוָ֗ה מַלְאָ֫כָ֥יו גִּבֹּ֣רֵי כֹ֭חַ עֹשֵׂ֣י דְבָרֹ֑ו לִ֝שְׁמֹ֗עַ בְּקֹ֣ול דְּבָרֹֽו׃
21 Praise YHWH, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
בָּרֲכ֣וּ יְ֭הוָה כָּל־צְבָאָ֑יו מְ֝שָׁרְתָ֗יו עֹשֵׂ֥י רְצֹונֹֽו׃
22 Praise YHWH, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise YHWH, my soul.
בָּרֲכ֤וּ יְהוָ֙ה ׀ כָּֽל־מַעֲשָׂ֗יו בְּכָל־מְקֹמֹ֥ות מֶמְשַׁלְתֹּ֑ו בָּרֲכִ֥י נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃
