Psalms 103
103
A Psalm of David.
1Bless Jehovah, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2Bless Jehovah, O my soul,
And forget not all his benefits:
3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
Who healeth all thy diseases;
4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5Who satisfieth thy desire with good things,
So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle.
6Jehovah executeth righteous acts,
And judgments for all that are oppressed.
7He made known his ways unto Moses,
His doings unto the children of Israel.
8Jehovah is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.
9He will not always chide;
Neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10He hath not dealt with us after our sins,
Nor rewarded us after our iniquities.
11For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.
12As far as the east is from the west,
So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13Like as a father pitieth his children,
So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.
14For he knoweth our frame;
He remembereth that we are dust.
15As for man, his days are as grass;
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.
17But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him,
And his righteousness unto children’s children;
18To such as keep his covenant,
And to those that remember his precepts to do them.
19Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens;
And his kingdom ruleth over all.
20Bless Jehovah, ye his angels,
That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word,
Hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts,
Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22Bless Jehovah, all ye his works,
In all places of his dominion:
Bless Jehovah, O my soul.

Psalms 103
103
(By David.)
The Lord's Wonderful Love
1With all my heart
I praise the Lord,
and with all that I am
I praise his holy name!
2With all my heart
I praise the Lord!
I will never forget
how kind he has been.
3The Lord forgives our sins,
heals us when we are sick,
4and protects us from death.
His kindness and love
are a crown on our heads.
5Each day that we live,#103.5 Each … live: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.
he provides for our needs
and gives us the strength
of a young eagle.
6For all who are mistreated,
the Lord brings justice.
7He taught his Law to Moses
and showed all Israel
what he could do.
8 #
Jas 5.11. The Lord is merciful!
He is kind and patient,
and his love never fails.
9The Lord won't always be angry
and point out our sins;
10he doesn't punish us
as our sins deserve.
11How great is God's love for all
who worship him?
Greater than the distance
between heaven and earth!
12How far has the Lord taken
our sins from us?
Farther than the distance
from east to west!
13Just as parents are kind
to their children,
the Lord is kind
to all who worship him,
14because he knows
we are made of dust.
15We humans are like grass
or wild flowers
that quickly bloom.
16But a scorching wind blows,
and they quickly wither
to be forever forgotten.
17The Lord is always kind
to those who worship him,
and he keeps his promises
to their descendants
18who faithfully obey him.
19God has set up his kingdom
in heaven, and he rules
the whole creation.
20All of you mighty angels,
who obey God's commands,
come and praise your Lord!
21All of you thousands
who serve and obey God,
come and praise your Lord!
22All of God's creation
and all that he rules,
come and praise your Lord!
With all my heart
I praise the Lord!
