Psalms 103

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

Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, —And all that is within me, his holy Name;

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

Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, And forget not all his dealings: —

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

Who forgiveth all thine iniquity, Who healeth all thy diseases;

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

Who redeemeth, from destruction, thy life, Who crowneth thee, with lovingkindness and compassion:

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

Who satisfieth, with good, thine age, Thy youth, reneweth itself like an eagle.

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

Yahweh is one, who executeth righteousness, Yea vindication for all the oppressed.

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

Who made known his ways unto Moses, unto the sons of Israel, his doings.

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

Compassionate and gracious, is Yahweh, —Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness.

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

Not perpetually, will he contend, Nor age-abidingly, retain anger;

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

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 heauen is aboue ye earth, so great is his mercie toward them that feare him.

For, as the heavens are exalted over the earth, His lovingkindness hath prevailed over them who revere him;

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

As far as East from West, Hath he put far from us, our transgressions;

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

Like the compassion of a father for his children, Is, the compassion of Yahweh, for them who revere him;

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

For, he, knoweth how we are formed, He is mindful that, dust, we are.

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

As for man, like grass, are his days, Like the blossom of the field, so, doth he blossom;

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

For, a wind, hath passed over it, and it is gone, And its own place is acquainted with 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 lovingkindness of Yahweh, is from one age even to another, Upon them who revere 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 remember his precepts, to do them.

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

Yahweh, in the heavens, hath established his throne, And, his kingdom, over all, hath dominion.

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

Bless Yahweh, ye messengers of his, —Heroes of vigour, doing his word, To hearken [again] to the voice of his word;

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

Bless Yahweh, all ye his hosts, Attendants of his, doing his pleasure;

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

Bless Yahweh, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion, Bless, O my soul, Yahweh.
