Psalms 103
1 Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, —And all that is within me, 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, O my soul, Yahweh, And forget not all his dealings: —
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquity, Who healeth all thy diseases;
Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.
4 Who redeemeth, from destruction, thy life, Who crowneth thee, with lovingkindness and compassion:
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.
5 Who satisfieth, with good, thine age, Thy youth, reneweth itself like an eagle.
Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle’s.
6 Yahweh is one, who executeth righteousness, Yea vindication for all the oppressed.
The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.
7 Who made known his ways unto Moses, unto the sons of Israel, his doings.
He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.
8 Compassionate and gracious, is Yahweh, —Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness.
The ford is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.
9 Not perpetually, will he contend, Nor age-abidingly, retain anger;
He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever.
10 Not according to our sins, hath he dealt with us, Nor according to our iniquities, hath he treated us.
He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded 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 according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards 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 hath he removed our iniquities 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 hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him:
14 For, he, knoweth how we are formed, He is mindful that, dust, we are.
For he knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust:
15 As for man, like grass, are his days, Like the blossom of the field, so, doth he blossom;
Man’s days are as grass, as the 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 spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his 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 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 precepts, to do them.
To such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.
19 Yahweh, in the heavens, hath established his throne, And, his kingdom, over all, hath dominion.
The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule 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: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.
21 Bless Yahweh, all ye his hosts, Attendants of his, doing his pleasure;
Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you 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, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
