Psalms 103
1 Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, —And all that is within 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 Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, And forget not all his dealings: —
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquity, Who healeth all thy diseases;
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth, from destruction, thy life, Who crowneth thee, with lovingkindness and compassion:
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies:
5 Who satisfieth, with good, thine age, Thy youth, reneweth itself like an eagle.
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; [so that] thy youth is renewed like the eagle.
6 Yahweh is one, who executeth righteousness, Yea vindication for all the oppressed.
The LORD executeth righteous acts, and judgments for all that are oppressed.
7 Who made known his ways unto Moses, unto the sons of Israel, his doings.
He made known his ways unto Moses, his doings unto the children of Israel.
8 Compassionate and gracious, is Yahweh, —Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness.
The LORD is full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9 Not perpetually, will he contend, Nor age-abidingly, retain anger;
He will not always chide; neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.
10 Not according to our sins, hath he dealt with us, Nor according to our iniquities, hath he treated us.
He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us after our iniquities.
11 For, as the heavens are exalted over the earth, His lovingkindness hath prevailed over them who revere him;
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 As far as East from West, Hath he put far from us, our transgressions;
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like the compassion of a father for his children, Is, the compassion of Yahweh, for them who revere him;
Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
14 For, he, knoweth how we are formed, He is mindful that, dust, we are.
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15 As for man, like grass, are his days, Like the blossom of the field, so, doth he blossom;
As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For, a wind, hath passed over it, and it is gone, And its own place is acquainted with it no more.
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But, the lovingkindness of Yahweh, is from one age even to another, Upon them who revere him, And his righteousness, to children’s children: —
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;
18 To such as keep his covenant, And remember his precepts, to do them.
To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his precepts to do them.
19 Yahweh, in the heavens, hath established his throne, And, his kingdom, over all, hath dominion.
The LORD hath established his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Bless Yahweh, ye messengers of his, —Heroes of vigour, doing his word, To hearken [again] to the voice of his word;
Bless the LORD, ye angels of his: ye mighty in strength, that fulfill his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Bless Yahweh, all ye his hosts, Attendants of his, doing his pleasure;
Bless the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22 Bless Yahweh, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion, Bless, O my soul, Yahweh.
Bless the LORD, all ye his works, in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
