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, Jehovah, 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, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,
3 He forgives all your sins; he heals all your diseases.
Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,
4 He redeems your life from destruction; he crowns you with covenant faithfulness and acts of tender mercy.
Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee — kindness and mercies,
5 He satisfies your life with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.
6 Yahweh does what is fair and does acts of justice for all who are oppressed.
Jehovah 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 maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.
8 Yahweh is merciful and gracious; he is patient; he has great covenant loyalty.
Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9 He will not always discipline; he is not always angry.
Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.
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 done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon 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 hath 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.
As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.
13 As a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who honor him.
As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.
14 For he knows how we are formed; he knows that we are dust.
For He hath 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! as grass [are] his days, 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 a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.
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 Jehovah [Is] from age even unto 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.
Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.
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 messengers, Mighty in power — doing His word, To hearken to 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, 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 Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
