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 the LORD, 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 the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 He forgives all your sins; he heals all your diseases.
Who forgiveth all thy 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 loving-kindness and tender mercies;
5 He satisfies your life with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good [things]; [so that] thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 Yahweh does what is fair and does acts of justice for all who are oppressed.
The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment 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 to Moses, his acts to the children of Israel.
8 Yahweh is merciful and gracious; he is patient; he has great covenant loyalty.
The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
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 according to our sins; nor rewarded us according to 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 heaven is high above the earth, [so] great is his mercy towards 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] the LORD 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 its place 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 mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear 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 to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19 Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over everyone.
The LORD hath prepared 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 the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening to the voice of his word.
21 Give praise to Yahweh, all his hosts, you are his servants who carry out his will.
Bless ye the LORD, 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 the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
