Psalms 103
103
Psalm 103
By David.
1Praise the Lord, my soul!
Praise his holy name, all that is within me.
2Praise the Lord, my soul,
and never forget all the good he has done:
3He is the one who forgives all your sins,
the one who heals all your diseases,
4the one who rescues your life from the pit,
the one who crowns you with mercy and compassion,
5the one who fills your life with blessings
so that you become young again like an eagle.
6The Lord does what is right and fair
for all who are oppressed.
7He let Moses know his ways.
He let the Israelites know the things he had done.
8The Lord is compassionate, merciful, patient,
and always ready to forgive.
9He will not always accuse us of wrong
or be angry ⌞with us⌟ forever.
10He has not treated us as we deserve for our sins
or paid us back for our wrongs.
11As high as the heavens are above the earth—
that is how vast his mercy is toward those who fear him.
12As far as the east is from the west—
that is how far he has removed our rebellious acts from himself.
13As a father has compassion for his children,
so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him.
14He certainly knows what we are made of.
He bears in mind that we are dust.
15Human life is as short-lived as grass.
It blossoms like a flower in the field.
16When the wind blows over the flower, it disappears,
and there is no longer any sign of it.
17But from everlasting to everlasting,
the Lord’s mercy is on those who fear him.
His righteousness belongs
to their children and grandchildren,
18to those who are faithful to his promise,#103:18 Or “covenant.”
to those who remember to follow his guiding principles.
19The Lord has set his throne in heaven.
His kingdom rules everything.
20Praise the Lord, all his angels,
you mighty beings who carry out his orders
and are ready to obey his spoken orders.
21Praise the Lord, all his armies,
his servants who carry out his will.
22Praise the Lord, all his creatures
in all the places of his empire.
Praise the Lord, my soul!

Psalms 103
103
By David.
1Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts — His Holy Name.
2Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,
3Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,
4Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee — kindness and mercies,
5Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.
6 Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
7He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.
8Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.
10Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.
11For, as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.
12As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.
13As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.
14For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
15Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;
16For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.
17And the kindness of Jehovah [Is] from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,
18To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
19 Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.
20Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power — doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.
21Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers — doing His pleasure.
22Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
