Psalms 103

1 Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, —And all that is within me, his holy Name;

[A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and 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 forget not all his praises:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquity, Who healeth all thy diseases;

who forgives all thy transgressions, who heals all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth, from destruction, thy life, Who crowneth thee, with lovingkindness and compassion:

who redeems thy life from corruption; who crowns thee with mercy and compassion;

5 Who satisfieth, with good, thine age, Thy youth, reneweth itself like an eagle.

who satisfies thy desire with good things: [so that] thy youth shall be renewed like [that] of the eagle.

6 Yahweh is one, who executeth righteousness, Yea vindication for all the oppressed.

The Lord executes mercy and judgment for all that are injured.

7 Who made known his ways unto Moses, unto the sons of Israel, his doings.

He made known his ways to Moses, his will to the children of Israel.

8 Compassionate and gracious, is Yahweh, —Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness.

The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, long-suffering, and full of mercy.

9 Not perpetually, will he contend, Nor age-abidingly, retain anger;

He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever.

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, nor recompensed 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 the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord has [so] increased his mercy toward them that 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 pities [his] children, the Lord pities them that fear him.

14 For, he, knoweth how we are formed, He is mindful that, dust, we are.

For he knows our frame: remember 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 as grass; as a flower of the field, so shall he flourish.

16 For, a wind, hath passed over it, and it is gone, And its own place is acquainted with it no more.

For the wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know its place 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 the mercy of the Lord is from generation to generation upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children's children;

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

to them that keep his covenant, and remember his commandments to do them.

19 Yahweh, in the heavens, hath established his throne, And, his kingdom, over all, hath dominion.

The Lord has prepared his throne in the 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 ye his angels, mighty in strength, who perform his bidding, [ready] to hearken to the voice of his words.

21 Bless Yahweh, all ye his hosts, Attendants of his, doing his pleasure;

Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts; [ye] ministers of his that 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 every place of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.
