Psalms 103

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

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 benefits:

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

Who forgives all your iniquities; 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 destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;

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

Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

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

The LORD executes righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

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

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

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

The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

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

He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger 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 after our sins; nor rewarded 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, so great is his mercy toward 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.

Like as a father pities his children, so 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; he remembers 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 he flourishes.

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 is gone; and the place thereof shall know it 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 everlasting to everlasting on 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 such as keep his covenant, and to those that 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 heavens; 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, you his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening to the voice of his word.

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

Bless you the LORD, all you his hosts; you ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

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 all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
