Psalms 103
1 Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, —And all that is within me, his holy Name;
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 benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquity, Who healeth all thy diseases;
Who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases;
4 Who redeemeth, from destruction, thy life, Who crowneth thee, with lovingkindness and compassion:
Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth, with good, thine age, Thy youth, reneweth itself like an eagle.
Who satisfies your mouth 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 judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 Who made known his ways unto Moses, unto the sons of Israel, his doings.
He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the children of Israel.
8 Compassionate and gracious, is Yahweh, —Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness.
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9 Not perpetually, will he contend, Nor age-abidingly, retain anger;
He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger 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 after 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 as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is 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;
Like as a father pities his children, so 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; he remembers 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 he flourishes.
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 is gone; and the place thereof shall know 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 the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on 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 such as keep his covenant, and to those that 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 heavens; 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, you his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening to the voice of his word.
21 Bless Yahweh, all ye his hosts, Attendants of his, doing his pleasure;
Bless you the LORD, all you his hosts; you ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
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.
