Psalms 103

1 A Psalme of David. My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and all that is within me, prayse his holy Name.

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

2 My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and forget not all his benefites.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his praises:

3 Which forgiueth all thine iniquitie, and healeth all thine infirmities.

who forgives all your transgressions, who heals all your diseases;

4 Which redeemeth thy life from the graue, and crowneth thee with mercy and compassions.

who redeems your life from corruption; who crowns you with mercy and compassion;

5 Which satisfieth thy mouth with good things: and thy youth is renued like the eagles.

who satisfies your desire with good things: [so that] your youth shall be renewed like [that] of the eagle.

6 The Lord executeth righteousnes and iudgement to all that are oppressed.

The Lord executes mercy and judgement for all that are injured.

7 He made his wayes knowen vnto Moses, and his workes vnto the children of Israel.

He made known his ways to Moses, his will to the children of Israel.

8 The Lord is full of compassion and mercie, slowe to anger and of great kindnesse.

The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, longsuffering, and full of mercy.

9 He will not alway chide, neither keepe his anger for euer.

He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever.

10 He hath not dealt with vs after our sinnes, nor rewarded vs according to our iniquities.

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

11 For as high as the heauen is aboue ye earth, so great is his mercie toward them that feare him.

For as the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord has [so] increased his mercy towards them that fear him.

12 As farre as the East is from the West: so farre hath he remooued our sinnes from vs.

As far as the east is from the west, [so far] has he removed our transgressions from us.

13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that feare him.

As a father pities [his] children, the Lord pities them that fear him.

14 For he knoweth whereof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust.

For he knows our frame: remember that we are dust.

15 The dayes of man are as grasse: as a flowre of the fielde, so florisheth he.

[As for] man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so shall he flourish.

16 For the winde goeth ouer it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall knowe it no more.

For the wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know its place no more.

17 But the louing kindnesse of the Lord endureth for euer and euer vpon them that feare him, and his righteousnes vpon childrens children,

But the mercy of the Lord is from generation to generation upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children's children;

18 Vnto them that keepe his couenant, and thinke vpon his commandements to doe them.

to them that keep his covenant, and remember his commandments to do them.

19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heauen, and his Kingdome ruleth ouer all.

The Lord has prepared his throne in the heaven; and his kingdom rules over all.

20 Prayse the Lord, ye his Angels, that excell in strength, that doe his commandement in obeying the voyce of his worde.

Bless the Lord, all you his angels, mighty in strength, who perform his bidding, [ready] to listen to the voice of his words.

21 Prayse the Lord, all ye his hostes, ye his seruants that doe his pleasure.

Bless the Lord, all you his hosts; [you] ministers of his that do his will.

22 Prayse the Lord, all ye his workes, in all places of his dominion: my soule, prayse thou the Lord.

Bless the Lord, all his works, in every place of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.
