Psalms 103
1 “A psalm of David.” Bless the LORD, O my soul! And all that is within me, bless his holy name!
For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul! And forget not all his benefits!
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;
Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.
4 Who redeemeth thy life from the grave; Who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.
5 Who satisfieth thine old age with good, So that thy 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 executeth justice And equity for all the oppressed.
The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, His doings 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 kind, Slow to anger and rich in mercy.
The ford is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.
9 He doth not always chide, Nor doth he keep his anger for ever.
He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor requited us according to our iniquities.
He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 As high as are the heavens above the earth, So great is his mercy to them that 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 hath 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 Even as a father pitieth his children, So the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him:
14 For he knoweth our frame, He remembereth that we are dust.
For he knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust:
15 As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
Man’s days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.
16 The wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And its place shall know 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 mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting to them that fear him, And 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 such as keep his covenant, And remember his commandments to do them.
To such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.
19 The LORD hath established his throne in the heavens, And his kingdom ruleth over all.
The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.
20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, Ye mighty ones who do his commands, Hearkening to 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 Bless the LORD, all ye his hosts; Ye, his ministers, who do his pleasure!
Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.
22 Bless the LORD, all his works, In all places of his dominion! Bless the LORD, O my soul!
Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
