Psalms 103
1 Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, —And all that is within me, his holy Name;
Of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; all that is within me, bless His holy name.
2 Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, And forget not all his dealings: —
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquity, Who healeth all thy diseases;
He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeemeth, from destruction, thy life, Who crowneth thee, with lovingkindness and compassion:
who redeems your life from the Pit and crowns you with loving devotion and compassion,
5 Who satisfieth, with good, thine age, Thy youth, reneweth itself like an eagle.
who satisfies you with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 Yahweh is one, who executeth righteousness, Yea vindication for all the oppressed.
The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
7 Who made known his ways unto Moses, unto the sons of Israel, his doings.
He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.
8 Compassionate and gracious, is Yahweh, —Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness.
The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.
9 Not perpetually, will he contend, Nor age-abidingly, retain anger;
He will not always accuse us, nor harbor His anger forever.
10 Not according to our sins, hath he dealt with us, Nor according to our iniquities, hath he treated us.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities.
11 For, as the heavens are exalted over the earth, His lovingkindness hath prevailed over them who revere him;
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving devotion for those who fear Him.
12 As far as East from West, Hath he put far from us, our transgressions;
As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like the compassion of a father for his children, Is, the compassion of Yahweh, for them who revere him;
As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.
14 For, he, knoweth how we are formed, He is mindful that, dust, we are.
For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust.
15 As for man, like grass, are his days, Like the blossom of the field, so, doth he blossom;
As for man, his days are like grass— he blooms like a flower of the field;
16 For, a wind, hath passed over it, and it is gone, And its own place is acquainted with it no more.
when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.
17 But, the lovingkindness of Yahweh, is from one age even to another, Upon them who revere him, And his righteousness, to children’s children: —
But from everlasting to everlasting the loving devotion of the LORD extends to those who fear Him, and His righteousness to their children’s children—
18 To such as keep his covenant, And remember his precepts, to do them.
to those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.
19 Yahweh, in the heavens, hath established his throne, And, his kingdom, over all, hath dominion.
The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.
20 Bless Yahweh, ye messengers of his, —Heroes of vigour, doing his word, To hearken [again] to the voice of his word;
Bless the LORD, all His angels mighty in strength who carry out His word, who hearken to the voice of His command.
21 Bless Yahweh, all ye his hosts, Attendants of his, doing his pleasure;
Bless the LORD, all His hosts, you servants who do His will.
22 Bless Yahweh, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion, Bless, O my soul, Yahweh.
Bless the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!
