Psalms 103

1 [A Psalm] of David. Bless Jehovah, O my soul; and all that is within me, [bless] his holy name!

[By David.] Praise the LORD, my soul, and all that is within me, praise his holy name.

2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Praise the LORD, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits;

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases;

who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from the pit, who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;

who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thine old age with good [things]; thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

6 Jehovah executeth righteousness and justice for all that are oppressed.

7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness.

The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

9 He will not always chide, neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.

He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.

10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.

11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving-kindness toward them that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

13 As a father pitieth [his] children, so Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

Like a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.

14 For himself knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth:

16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof knoweth it no more.

17 But the loving-kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting and to everlasting, upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,

But the LORD's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children's children;

18 To such as keep his covenant and to those that remember his precepts to do them.

to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.

19 Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom ruleth over all.

20 Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Praise the LORD, all you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.

21 Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his that do his will.

Praise the LORD, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.

22 Bless Jehovah, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless Jehovah, O my soul!

Praise the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul.
