103:1 Of David. Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
103:2 Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits–
103:3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
103:4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
103:5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
103:6 The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
103:7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:
103:8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
103:9 He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;
103:10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
103:11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
103:12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
103:13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
103:14 for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
103:15 As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;
103:16 the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
103:17 But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’S love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children–
103:18 with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.
103:19 The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.
103:20 Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.
103:21 Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.
103:22 Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
103:1 Bless Jehovah, O my soul; / And all that is within me, bless His holy name.
103:2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul; / And do not forget all His benefits:
103:3 He pardons all your iniquities; / He heals all your diseases;
103:4 He redeems your life from the pit; / He crowns you with lovingkindness and compassions;
103:5 He satisfies the prime of your life with good, / So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
103:6 Jehovah executes righteous acts, / And judgments for all who are oppressed.
103:7 He made His ways known to Moses; / His acts, to the children of Israel.
103:8 Jehovah is compassionate and gracious, / Long-suffering and abundant in lovingkindness.
103:9 He will not always contend with us, / Nor will He keep His anger forever.
103:10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, / Nor has He recompensed us according to our iniquities.
103:11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, / So great is His lovingkindness upon those who fear Him.
103:12 As far as the east is from the west, / So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
103:13 As compassionate as a father is toward his children, / So compassionate is Jehovah toward those who fear Him.
103:14 For He knows our frame; / He remembers that we are dust.
103:15 Man ? his days are like grass; / He flourishes like a field flower:
103:16 For the wind passes over it, and it is no more; / And its own place knows of it no longer.
103:17 But Jehovah s lovingkindness is from eternity / Unto eternity upon those who fear Him, / And His righteousness is to the children s children;
103:18 To those who keep His covenant / And remember His precepts so as to do them.
103:19 Jehovah has established His throne in the heavens, / And His kingdom rules over all.
103:20 Bless Jehovah, you His angels, / Who are mighty in strength to perform His word, / By obeying the voice of His word.
103:21 Bless Jehovah, all you His hosts, / You His ministers who execute His will.
103:22 Bless Jehovah, all you His works, / In all places of His dominion. / Bless Jehovah, O my soul.
