Psalms 103
1 By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts — His Holy Name.
By David. Praise the LORD, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!
2 Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,
Praise the LORD, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits,
3 Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,
who forgives all your sins, 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 destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,
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 is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
The LORD executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.
7 He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.
He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel.
8 Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
9 Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.
He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
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 repaid us for 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 heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness towards those who 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.
Like a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
14 For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
For he knows how we are made. He remembers 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 like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
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 is gone. Its place remembers 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 LORD’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness 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, to those who remember to obey his precepts.
19 Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.
The LORD has established his throne in the heavens. 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.
Praise the LORD, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfil his word, obeying the voice of his word.
21 Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers — doing His pleasure.
Praise the LORD, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
22 Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
Praise the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul!
