Psalms 103

1 “A psalm of David.” Bless the LORD, O my soul! And all that is within me, bless his holy name!

BY DAVID. Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And all my inward parts—His Holy Name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul! And forget not all his benefits!

Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And do not forget all His benefits,

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;

Who is forgiving all your iniquities, Who is healing all your diseases,

4 Who redeemeth thy life from the grave; Who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;

Who is redeeming your life from destruction, Who is crowning you [with] kindness and mercies,

5 Who satisfieth thine old age with good, So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Who is satisfying your desire with good, Your youth renews itself as an eagle.

6 The LORD executeth justice And equity for all the oppressed.

YHWH is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.

7 He made known his ways to Moses, His doings to the children of Israel.

He makes His ways known to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.

8 The LORD is merciful and kind, Slow to anger and rich in mercy.

YHWH [is] merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

9 He doth not always chide, Nor doth he keep his anger for ever.

He does not strive forever, Nor does He watch for all time.

10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor requited us according to our iniquities.

He has not done to us according to our sins, Nor according to our iniquities Has He conferred benefits on us.

11 As high as are the heavens above the earth, So great is his mercy to them that fear him.

For as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness has been mighty over those fearing Him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

He has put our transgressions far from us—as the distance of east from west.

13 Even as a father pitieth his children, So the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

As a father has mercy on sons, YHWH has mercy on those fearing Him.

14 For he knoweth our frame, He remembereth that we are dust.

For He has known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.

15 As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

Mortal man! His days [are] as grass, He flourishes as a flower of the field;

16 The wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And its place shall know it no more.

For a wind has passed over it, and it is not, And its place does not discern it anymore.

17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting to them that fear him, And his righteousness to children's children,

And the kindness of YHWH [Is] from age even to age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons’ sons,

18 To such as keep his covenant, And remember his commandments to do them.

To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.

19 The LORD hath established his throne in the heavens, And his kingdom ruleth over all.

YHWH has established His throne in the heavens, And His kingdom has ruled over all.

20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, Ye mighty ones who do his commands, Hearkening to the voice of his word!

Bless YHWH, you His messengers, Mighty in power—doing His word, To listen to the voice of His word.

21 Bless the LORD, all ye his hosts; Ye, his ministers, who do his pleasure!

Bless YHWH, all you His hosts, His ministers—doing His pleasure.

22 Bless the LORD, all his works, In all places of his dominion! Bless the LORD, O my soul!

Bless YHWH, all you His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, YHWH!
