Psalms 103

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

By David. Praise the LORD, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!

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

Praise the LORD, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits,

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

who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,

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

who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,

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

who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

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

The LORD executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.

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

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

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

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

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

He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.

10 Not according to our sins, hath he dealt with us, Nor according to our iniquities, hath he treated us.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.

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

For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness towards those who 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 has 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 a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.

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

For he knows how we are made. He remembers 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 like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

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 passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers 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 LORD’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children,

18 To such as keep his covenant, And remember his precepts, to do them.

to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.

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

The LORD has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.

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

Praise the LORD, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfil his word, obeying the voice of his word.

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

Praise the LORD, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.

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

Praise the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul!
