< Psalms 103 >
1 By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts — His Holy Name.
A Psalme of David. My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and all that is within me, prayse his holy Name.
2 Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,
My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and forget not all his benefites.
3 Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,
Which forgiueth all thine iniquitie, and healeth all thine infirmities.
4 Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee — kindness and mercies,
Which redeemeth thy life from the graue, and crowneth thee with mercy and compassions.
5 Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.
Which satisfieth thy mouth with good things: and thy youth is renued like the eagles.
6 Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
The Lord executeth righteousnes and iudgement to all that are oppressed.
7 He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.
He made his wayes knowen vnto Moses, and his workes vnto the children of Israel.
8 Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
The Lord is full of compassion and mercie, slowe to anger and of great kindnesse.
9 Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.
He will not alway chide, neither keepe his anger for euer.
10 Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.
He hath not dealt with vs after our sinnes, nor rewarded vs according to our iniquities.
11 For, as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.
For as high as the heauen is aboue ye earth, so great is his mercie toward them that feare him.
12 As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.
As farre as the East is from the West: so farre hath he remooued our sinnes from vs.
13 As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.
As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that feare him.
14 For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
For he knoweth whereof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust.
15 Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;
The dayes of man are as grasse: as a flowre of the fielde, so florisheth he.
16 For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.
For the winde goeth ouer it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall knowe it no more.
17 And the kindness of Jehovah [Is] from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,
But the louing kindnesse of the Lord endureth for euer and euer vpon them that feare him, and his righteousnes vpon childrens children,
18 To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
Vnto them that keepe his couenant, and thinke vpon his commandements to doe them.
19 Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.
The Lord hath prepared his throne in heauen, and his Kingdome ruleth ouer all.
20 Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power — doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.
Prayse the Lord, ye his Angels, that excell in strength, that doe his commandement in obeying the voyce of his worde.
21 Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers — doing His pleasure.
Prayse the Lord, all ye his hostes, ye his seruants that doe his pleasure.
22 Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
Prayse the Lord, all ye his workes, in all places of his dominion: my soule, prayse thou the Lord.
