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.
BY DAVID. Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And all my inward parts—His Holy Name.
2 I give praise to Yahweh with all my life, and I remember all of his good deeds.
Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And do not forget all His benefits,
3 He forgives all your sins; he heals all your diseases.
Who is forgiving all your iniquities, Who is healing all your diseases,
4 He redeems your life from destruction; he crowns you with covenant faithfulness and acts of tender mercy.
Who is redeeming your life from destruction, Who is crowning you [with] kindness and mercies,
5 He satisfies your life with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
Who is satisfying your desire with good, Your youth renews itself as an eagle.
6 Yahweh does what is fair and does acts of justice for all who are oppressed.
YHWH is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the descendants of Israel.
He makes His ways known to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.
8 Yahweh is merciful and gracious; he is patient; he has great covenant loyalty.
YHWH [is] merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9 He will not always discipline; he is not always angry.
He does not strive forever, Nor does He watch for all time.
10 He does not deal with us as our sins deserve or repay us for what our sins demand.
He has not done to us according to our sins, Nor according to our iniquities Has He conferred benefits on us.
11 For as the skies are high above the earth, so great is his covenant faithfulness toward those who honor him.
For as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness has been mighty over those fearing 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.
He has put our transgressions far from us—as the distance of east from west.
13 As a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who honor him.
As a father has mercy on sons, YHWH has mercy on those fearing Him.
14 For he knows how we are formed; he knows that we are dust.
For He has known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
15 As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower in a field.
Mortal man! His days [are] as grass, He flourishes as a flower of the field;
16 The wind blows over it, and it disappears, and no one can even tell where it once grew.
For a wind has passed over it, and it is not, And its place does not discern it anymore.
17 But the covenant faithfulness of Yahweh is from everlasting to everlasting on those who honor him. His righteousness extends to their descendants.
And the kindness of YHWH [Is] from age even to age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons’ sons,
18 They keep his covenant and remember to obey his instructions.
To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
19 Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over everyone.
YHWH has established His throne in the heavens, And His kingdom has ruled 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 YHWH, you His messengers, Mighty in power—doing His word, To listen to the voice of His word.
21 Give praise to Yahweh, all his hosts, you are his servants who carry out his will.
Bless YHWH, all you His hosts, His ministers—doing 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 YHWH, all you His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, YHWH!
