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.
Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, —And all that is within me, 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, Yahweh, And forget not all his dealings: —
3 He forgives all your sins; he heals all your diseases.
Who forgiveth all thine iniquity, 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, from destruction, thy life, Who crowneth thee, with lovingkindness and compassion:
5 He satisfies your life with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
Who satisfieth, with good, thine age, Thy youth, reneweth itself like an eagle.
6 Yahweh does what is fair and does acts of justice for all who are oppressed.
Yahweh is one, who executeth righteousness, Yea vindication for all the oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the descendants of Israel.
Who made known his ways unto Moses, unto the sons of Israel, his doings.
8 Yahweh is merciful and gracious; he is patient; he has great covenant loyalty.
Compassionate and gracious, is Yahweh, —Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness.
9 He will not always discipline; he is not always angry.
Not perpetually, will he contend, Nor age-abidingly, retain anger;
10 He does not deal with us as our sins deserve or repay us for what our sins demand.
Not according to our sins, hath he dealt with us, Nor according to our iniquities, hath he treated 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 heavens are exalted over the earth, His lovingkindness hath prevailed over them who revere 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 East from West, Hath he put far from us, our transgressions;
13 As a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who honor him.
Like the compassion of a father for his children, Is, the compassion of Yahweh, for them who revere him;
14 For he knows how we are formed; he knows that we are dust.
For, he, knoweth how we are formed, He is mindful that, dust, we are.
15 As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower in a field.
As for man, like grass, are his days, Like the blossom of the field, so, doth he blossom;
16 The wind blows over it, and it disappears, and no one can even tell where it once grew.
For, a wind, hath passed over it, and it is gone, And its own place is acquainted with 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 Yahweh, is from one age even to another, Upon them who revere him, And his righteousness, to children’s children: —
18 They keep his covenant and remember to obey his instructions.
To such as keep his covenant, And remember his precepts, to do them.
19 Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over everyone.
Yahweh, in the heavens, hath established his throne, And, his kingdom, over all, hath dominion.
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 Yahweh, ye messengers of his, —Heroes of vigour, doing his word, To hearken [again] to the voice of his word;
21 Give praise to Yahweh, all his hosts, you are his servants who carry out his will.
Bless Yahweh, all ye his hosts, Attendants of his, 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 Yahweh, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion, Bless, O my soul, Yahweh.
