Psalms 103

Praise for Jehovah’s mercies.

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.
