Psalms 103
1 A psalm of David. Let every part of me praise the Lord; let my whole being praise his holy character.
Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, —And all that is within me, his holy Name;
2 Let every part of me praise the Lord; don't let me forget the wonderful things he's done for me.
Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, And forget not all his dealings: —
3 He forgives my sins, and he heals all my diseases.
Who forgiveth all thine iniquity, Who healeth all thy diseases;
4 He saves me from death; he honors me with trustworthy love and mercy.
Who redeemeth, from destruction, thy life, Who crowneth thee, with lovingkindness and compassion:
5 He fills my life with all that's good; he makes me young again, strong as an eagle.
Who satisfieth, with good, thine age, Thy youth, reneweth itself like an eagle.
6 The Lord does what is right, and vindicates those who are exploited.
Yahweh is one, who executeth righteousness, Yea vindication for all the oppressed.
7 He explained his ways to Moses: he told the people of Israel what he was going to do.
Who made known his ways unto Moses, unto the sons of Israel, his doings.
8 The Lord is kind and gracious, not quick-tempered, and full of trustworthy love.
Compassionate and gracious, is Yahweh, —Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness.
9 He doesn't keep on accusing us; he doesn't stay angry with us forever.
Not perpetually, will he contend, Nor age-abidingly, retain anger;
10 He does not punish us for our sins as he ought to; he does not pay us back for our wrongdoing as we deserve.
Not according to our sins, hath he dealt with us, Nor according to our iniquities, hath he treated us.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth is the extent of his trustworthy love to those who honor him.
For, as the heavens are exalted over the earth, His lovingkindness hath prevailed over them who revere him;
12 As far as the east is from the west is how far the Lord has taken our sins away from us.
As far as East from West, Hath he put far from us, our transgressions;
13 Like a loving father, the Lord is kind and compassionate to those who follow him.
Like the compassion of a father for his children, Is, the compassion of Yahweh, for them who revere him;
14 For he knows how we are made; he remembers we are only dust.
For, he, knoweth how we are formed, He is mindful that, dust, we are.
15 Human lifetimes are like grass: we blossom like flowers in a field,
As for man, like grass, are his days, Like the blossom of the field, so, doth he blossom;
16 but then the wind blows and we are gone, disappearing without a trace.
For, a wind, hath passed over it, and it is gone, And its own place is acquainted with it no more.
17 But the Lord's trustworthy love lasts for all eternity to those who accept him; his goodness to all generations,
But, the lovingkindness of Yahweh, is from one age even to another, Upon them who revere him, And his righteousness, to children’s children: —
18 to those who keep his agreement and who remember to follow his commandments.
To such as keep his covenant, And remember his precepts, to do them.
19 The Lord has set up his throne in the heavens, and he rules over all.
Yahweh, in the heavens, hath established his throne, And, his kingdom, over all, hath dominion.
20 Praise the Lord, you angels, you powerful ones who do what he says, listening to what he tells you!
Bless Yahweh, ye messengers of his, —Heroes of vigour, doing his word, To hearken [again] to the voice of his word;
21 Praise the Lord, you heavenly armies who serve him and carry out his will!
Bless Yahweh, all ye his hosts, Attendants of his, doing his pleasure;
22 Praise the Lord, everything in his creation, everyone under his rule, and let every part of me praise the Lord!
Bless Yahweh, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion, Bless, O my soul, Yahweh.
