Psalm 103

¹ By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts — His Holy Name.

² Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,

³ Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,

⁴ Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee — kindness and mercies,

⁵ Who 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.

⁷ He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.

⁸ Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

⁹ Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.

¹⁰ Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.

¹¹ For, as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.

¹² As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.

¹³ As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.

¹⁴ For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.

¹⁵ Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;

¹⁶ For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.

¹⁷ And the kindness of Jehovah [Is] from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons’ sons,

¹⁸ To 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.

²⁰ Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power — doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.

²¹ Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers — doing His pleasure.

²² Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
