Psalms 103
1 A psalm of David. I give praise to Yahweh with all my life, and with all that is within me, I give praise to his holy name.
[A Psalm] of David. Bless Jehovah, O my soul; And all that is within me, [bless] his holy name.
2 I give praise to Yahweh with all my life, and I remember all of his good deeds.
Bless Jehovah, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:
3 He forgives all your sins; he heals all your diseases.
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;
4 He redeems your life from destruction; he crowns you with covenant faithfulness and acts of tender mercy.
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 He satisfies your life with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
Who satisfieth thy desire with good things, [So that] thy youth is renewed like the eagle.
6 Yahweh does what is fair and does acts of justice for all who are oppressed.
Jehovah executeth righteous acts, And judgments for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the descendants of Israel.
He made known his ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel.
8 Yahweh is merciful and gracious; he is patient; he has great covenant loyalty.
Jehovah is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.
9 He will not always discipline; he is not always angry.
He will not always chide; Neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.
10 He does not deal with us as our sins deserve or repay us for what our sins demand.
He hath not dealt with us after our sins, Nor rewarded us after our iniquities.
11 For as the skies are high above the earth, so great is his covenant faithfulness toward those who honor him.
For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, this is how far he has removed the guilt of our sins from us.
As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who honor him.
Like as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knows how we are formed; he knows that we are dust.
For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower in a field.
As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 The wind blows over it, and it disappears, and no one can even tell where it once grew.
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the covenant faithfulness of Yahweh is from everlasting to everlasting on those who honor him. His righteousness extends to their descendants.
But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children’s children;
18 They keep his covenant and remember to obey his instructions.
To such as keep his covenant, And to those that remember his precepts to do them.
19 Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over everyone.
Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens; And his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Give praise to Yahweh, you his angels, you mighty ones who are strong and do his word, and obey the sound of his word.
Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Give praise to Yahweh, all his hosts, you are his servants who carry out his will.
Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts, Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22 Give praise to Yahweh, all his creatures, in all the places where he reigns. I will give praise to Yahweh with all my life.
Bless Jehovah, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion: Bless Jehovah, O my soul.
