Psalms 103
1 By David. Praise the LORD, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!
“Of David.” Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and all that is within me, his holy name.
2 Praise the LORD, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits,
Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and forget not all his benefits:
3 who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,
Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,
Who redeemeth from the pit thy life; who crowneth thee with kindness and mercies;
5 who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Who satisfieth with happiness thy spirit, so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's [plumage].
6 The LORD executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.
The Lord executeth righteousness, and justice for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel.
He made known his ways unto Moses, unto the children of Israel his acts.
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
Merciful and gracious is the Lord, long-suffering and abundant in kindness.
9 He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
Not for all eternity will he contend; nor will he for ever retain his anger.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.
Not in accordance with our sins hath he dealt with us; nor according to our iniquities hath he requited us.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
For as high as heaven is above the earth, so mighty is his kindness toward those that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed from us our transgressions.
13 Like a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
As a father hath mercy on his children, so hath the Lord mercy on those that fear him.
14 For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
As for man, like the grass are his days: as the blossom of the field, so doth he bloom.
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.
When a wind but passeth over it, it is gone, and its place will recognize it no more.
17 But the LORD’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children,
But the kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting over those that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,
18 to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.
To such as keep his covenant, and to those who remember his precepts to execute them.
19 The LORD has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
The Lord hath established in the heavens his throne; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Praise the LORD, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.
Bless the Lord, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Praise the LORD, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
Bless ye the Lord, all his hosts, ye his ministers, that execute his will.
22 Praise the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul!
Bless the Lord, all his works, in all the places of his dominion; bless, O my soul, the Lord.
