< Psalms 103 >

1 By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts — His Holy Name.
[A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all [that is] within me, [bless] his holy name.
2 Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his praises:
3 Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,
who forgives all your transgressions, who heals all your diseases;
4 Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee — kindness and mercies,
who redeems your life from corruption; who crowns you with mercy and compassion;
5 Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.
who satisfies your desire with good things: [so that] your youth shall be renewed like [that] of the eagle.
6 Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
The Lord executes mercy and judgment for all that are injured.
7 He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.
He made known his ways to Moses, his will to the children of Israel.
8 Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, longsuffering, and full of mercy.
9 Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.
He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever.
10 Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed us 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 the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord has [so] increased his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.
As far as the east is from the west, [so far] has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.
As a father pities [his] children, the Lord pities them that fear him.
14 For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
For he knows our frame: remember that we are dust.
15 Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;
[As for] man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so shall he flourish.
16 For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.
For the wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know its place 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 mercy of the Lord is from generation to generation upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children's children;
18 To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
to them that keep his covenant, and remember his commandments to do them.
19 Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.
The Lord has prepared his throne in the heaven; and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power — doing His word, To hearken to 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 Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers — doing His pleasure.
Bless the Lord, all you his hosts; [you] ministers of his that do his will.
22 Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
Bless the Lord, all his works, in every place of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.
