Psalms 103

1 Of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; all that is within me, bless His holy name.

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

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—

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

3 He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases,

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

4 who redeems your life from the Pit and crowns you with loving devotion and compassion,

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

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

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

6 The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

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

7 He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.

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

8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.

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

9 He will not always accuse us, nor harbor His anger forever.

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

10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities.

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

11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving devotion for those who fear Him.

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

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

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

13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

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

14 For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust.

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

15 As for man, his days are like grass—he blooms like a flower of the field;

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

16 when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.

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

17 But from everlasting to everlasting the loving devotion of the LORD extends to those who fear Him, and His righteousness to their children’s children—

17 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 who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.

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

19 The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.

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

20 Bless the LORD, all His angels mighty in strength who carry out His word, who hearken to the voice of His command.

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

21 Bless the LORD, all His hosts, you servants who do His will.

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

22 Bless the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!

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