Psalms 103
1 By David. Praise the LORD, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!
[A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all [that is] within me, [bless] his holy name.
2 Praise the LORD, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits,
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his praises:
3 who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,
who forgives all your transgressions, who heals all your diseases;
4 who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,
who redeems your life from corruption; who crowns you with mercy and compassion;
5 who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
who satisfies your desire with good things: [so that] your youth shall be renewed like [that] of the eagle.
6 The LORD executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.
The Lord executes mercy and judgement for all that are injured.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel.
He made known his ways to Moses, his will to the children of Israel.
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, longsuffering, and full of mercy.
9 He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness towards those who fear him.
For as the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord has [so] increased his mercy towards them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
As far as the east is from the west, [so far] has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
As a father pities [his] children, the Lord pities them that fear him.
14 For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
For he knows our frame: remember that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
[As for] man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so shall he flourish.
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.
For the wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know its place no more.
17 But the LORD’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children,
But the mercy of the Lord is from generation to generation upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children's children;
18 to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.
to them that keep his covenant, and remember his commandments to do them.
19 The LORD has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
The Lord has prepared his throne in the heaven; and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Praise the LORD, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfil his word, obeying the voice of his word.
Bless the Lord, all you his angels, mighty in strength, who perform his bidding, [ready] to listen to the voice of his words.
21 Praise the LORD, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
Bless the Lord, all you his hosts; [you] ministers of his that do his will.
22 Praise the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul!
Bless the Lord, all his works, in every place of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.
