Psalms 103

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

A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

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

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

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

Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

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

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

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

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

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

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

7 He revealed his ways to Moses, his acts to the children of Israel.

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

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

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

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

He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

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

He hath not dealt with us according to our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

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

For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

12 Far as is east from the west has he put our transgressions from us.

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

13 As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear him;

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

14 for well he knows our frame, he remembers that we are dust.

For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

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

As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

16 At the breath of the wind it is gone, and the place thereof knows it no more.

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and its place shall know it no more.

17 But the love of the Lord is eternal, and his kindness to children’s children,

But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children;

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

To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

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

The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

20 Bless the Lord, you angels of his, mighty heroes performing his word.

Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening to the voice of his word.

21 Bless the Lord, all you his hosts, you servants who do his will.

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

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

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