A Psalm of David.
103:1Bless Jehovah, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless his holy name.
103:2Bless Jehovah, O my soul,
And forget not all his benefits:
103:3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
Who healeth all thy diseases;
103:4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
103:5Who satisfieth thy desire with good things,
So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle.
103:6Jehovah executeth righteous acts,
And judgments for all that are oppressed.
103:7He made known his ways unto Moses,
His doings unto the children of Israel.
103:8Jehovah is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.
103:9He will not always chide;
Neither will he keep his anger for ever.
103:10He hath not dealt with us after our sins,
Nor rewarded us after our iniquities.
103:11For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.
103:12As far as the east is from the west,
So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
103:13Like as a father pitieth his children,
So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.
103:14For he knoweth our frame;
He remembereth that we are dust.
103:15As for man, his days are as grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
103:16For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;
And the place thereof shall know it no more.
103:17But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him,
And his righteousness unto children's children;
103:18To such as keep his covenant,
And to those that remember his precepts to do them.
103:19Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens;
And his kingdom ruleth over all.
103:20Bless Jehovah, ye his angels,
That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word,
Hearkening unto the voice of his word.
103:21Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts,
Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
103:22Bless Jehovah, all ye his works,
In all places of his dominion:
