Psalms 103

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

Of David. O my soul, bless the Lord; and all that is in me, his holy name.

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

O my soul, bless the Lord; and forget not one of his benefits.

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

He pardons all your sins, he heals all your diseases.

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

He ransoms your life from the pit, he crowns you with kindness and pity.

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

He gives you your heart’s desire, renewing your youth like the eagle’s.

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

The Lord executes justice – and right for all who are wronged.

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

He revealed 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.

Full of pity and grace is the Lord, patient, and rich in kindness:

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

he will not always chide, nor cherish his anger forever.

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

Not after our sins has he dealt with us, nor requited us after our wickedness.

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

For high as the heavens o’er the earth is his love over those who fear him.

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

Far as is east from the west has he put 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, so the Lord pities those who fear him;

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

for well 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.

A person’s days are as grass; blossoms like a flower of the meadow.

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

At the breath of the wind it is gone, and the place thereof knows 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 love of the Lord is eternal, and his kindness to children’s children,

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

to those who keep his covenant and mindfully do his behests.

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

The Lord has set his throne in the heavens; the whole world is under his sway.

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 angels of his, mighty heroes performing his word.

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

Bless the Lord, all you his hosts, you servants who 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 you his works, far as his sway extends. O my soul, bless the Lord.
