Psalms 103
1 By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts — His Holy Name.
Of David. O my soul, bless the Lord; and all that is in me, his holy name.
2 Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,
O my soul, bless the Lord; and forget not one of his benefits.
3 Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,
He pardons all your sins, he heals all your diseases.
4 Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee — kindness and mercies,
He ransoms your life from the pit, he crowns you with kindness and pity.
5 Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.
He gives you your heart’s desire, renewing your youth like the eagle’s.
6 Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
The Lord executes justice – and right for all who are wronged.
7 He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.
He revealed his ways to Moses, his acts to the children of Israel.
8 Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
Full of pity and grace is the Lord, patient, and rich in kindness:
9 Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.
he will not always chide, nor cherish his anger forever.
10 Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.
Not after our sins has he dealt with us, nor requited us after our wickedness.
11 For, as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.
For high as the heavens o’er the earth is his love over those who fear him.
12 As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.
Far as is east from the west has he put 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, so the Lord pities those who fear him;
14 For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
for well he knows our frame, he remembers that we are dust.
15 Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;
A person’s days are as grass; blossoms like a flower of the meadow.
16 For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.
At the breath of the wind it is gone, and the place thereof knows 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 love of the Lord is eternal, and his kindness to children’s children,
18 To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
to those who keep his covenant and mindfully do his behests.
19 Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.
The Lord has set his throne in the heavens; the whole world is under his sway.
20 Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power — doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.
Bless the Lord, you angels of his, mighty heroes performing his word.
21 Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers — doing His pleasure.
Bless the Lord, all you his hosts, you servants who 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 you his works, far as his sway extends. O my soul, bless the Lord.
