Psalms 103

1Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

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

2Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

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

3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

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

4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

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

5Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

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

6The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

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

7He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

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

8The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

8Merciful and gracious <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

9He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

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

10He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

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

11For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

11For, as the height of the heavens <FI>is<Fi> above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.

12As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

12As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.

13Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

13As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.

14For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

14For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we <FI>are<Fi> dust.

15As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

15Mortal man! as grass <FI>are<Fi> his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;

16For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

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

17But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;

17And the kindness of Jehovah <FI>Is<Fi> from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,

18To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

18To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.

19The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

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

20Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

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

21Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

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

22Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.

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