Psalms 103
1 “Of David.” Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and all that is within me, his holy name.
By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts — His Holy Name.
2 Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and forget not all his benefits:
Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,
3 Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,
4 Who redeemeth from the pit thy life; who crowneth thee with kindness and mercies;
Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee — kindness and mercies,
5 Who satisfieth with happiness thy spirit, so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's [plumage].
Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.
6 The Lord executeth righteousness, and justice for all that are oppressed.
Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, unto the children of Israel his acts.
He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.
8 Merciful and gracious is the Lord, long-suffering and abundant in kindness.
Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9 Not for all eternity will he contend; nor will he for ever retain his anger.
Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.
10 Not in accordance with our sins hath he dealt with us; nor according to our iniquities hath he requited us.
Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.
11 For as high as heaven is above the earth, so mighty is his kindness toward those that fear him.
For, as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed from us our transgressions.
As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.
13 As a father hath mercy on his children, so hath the Lord mercy on those that fear him.
As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
15 As for man, like the grass are his days: as the blossom of the field, so doth he bloom.
Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;
16 When a wind but passeth over it, it is gone, and its place will recognize it no more.
For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.
17 But the kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting over those that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,
And the kindness of Jehovah [Is] from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,
18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those who remember his precepts to execute them.
To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
19 The Lord hath established in the heavens his throne; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.
20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power — doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.
21 Bless ye the Lord, all his hosts, ye his ministers, that execute his will.
Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers — doing His pleasure.
22 Bless the Lord, all his works, in all the places of his dominion; bless, O my soul, the Lord.
Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
