Psalms 103

1 [A Psalm] of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, [bless] his holy name.

By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts — His Holy Name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,

3 Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;

Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee — kindness and mercies,

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good [things]; [so that] thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.

6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.

7 He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the children of Israel.

He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.

8 The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.

Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.

10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

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 heaven is high above the earth, [so] great is his mercy towards them that fear 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, [so] far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.

13 Like as a father pitieth [his] children, [so] the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.

14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we [are] dust.

For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.

15 [As for] man, his days [are] as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;

16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and its place shall know it no more.

For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.

17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children's children;

And the kindness of Jehovah [Is] from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,

18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.

19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.

20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening to the voice of his word.

Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power — doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.

21 Bless ye the LORD, all [ye] his hosts; [ye] ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers — doing His pleasure.

22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
