Psalms 103
1 Of David. O my soul, bless the Lord; and all that is in me, his holy name.
By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts — His Holy Name.
2 O my soul, bless the Lord; and forget not one of his benefits.
Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,
3 He pardons all your sins, he heals all your diseases.
Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,
4 He ransoms your life from the pit, he crowns you with kindness and pity.
Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee — kindness and mercies,
5 He gives you your heart’s desire, renewing your youth like the eagle’s.
Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.
6 The Lord executes justice – and right for all who are wronged.
Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
7 He revealed his ways to Moses, his acts to the children of Israel.
He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.
8 Full of pity and grace is the Lord, patient, and rich in kindness:
Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9 he will not always chide, nor cherish his anger forever.
Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.
10 Not after our sins has he dealt with us, nor requited us after our wickedness.
Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.
11 For high as the heavens o’er the earth is his love over those who fear him.
For, as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.
12 Far as is east from the west has he put our transgressions from us.
As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.
13 As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear him;
As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.
14 for well he knows our frame, he remembers that we are dust.
For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
15 A person’s days are as grass; blossoms like a flower of the meadow.
Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;
16 At the breath of the wind it is gone, and the place thereof knows it no more.
For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.
17 But the love of the Lord is eternal, and his kindness to children’s children,
And the kindness of Jehovah [Is] from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,
18 to those who keep his covenant and mindfully do his behests.
To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
19 The Lord has set his throne in the heavens; the whole world is under his sway.
Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.
20 Bless the Lord, you angels of his, mighty heroes performing his word.
Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power — doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.
21 Bless the Lord, all you his hosts, you servants who do his will.
Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers — doing His pleasure.
22 Bless the Lord, all you his works, far as his sway extends. O my soul, bless the Lord.
Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
