Psalms 103

1 By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts — His Holy Name.

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

2 Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,

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

3 Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,

Who forgives all of your iniquities; who heals all your diseases;

4 Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee — kindness and mercies,

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

5 Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.

Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

6 Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.

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

7 He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.

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

8 Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

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

9 Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.

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

10 Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.

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

11 For, as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.

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

12 As the distance of east from west He hath 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 As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.

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

14 For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.

For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.

15 Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;

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

16 For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.

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

17 And the kindness of Jehovah [Is] from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,

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 those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.

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

19 Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.

The LORD has prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom rules over all.

20 Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power — doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.

Bless the LORD, all of you his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

21 Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers — doing His pleasure.

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

22 Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!

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