[A Psalm] of David. 103:1 Bless the Lord,
O my soul; and all [that is] within me, [bless] his holy name.
103:2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his praises:
103:3 who forgives all thy transgressions, who heals all thy diseases;
103:4 who redeems thy life from corruption; who crowns thee with mercy and
compassion;
103:5 who satisfies thy desire with good things: [so that] thy youth shall
be renewed like [that] of the eagle.
103:6 The Lord executes mercy and judgment for all that are injured.
103:7 He made known his ways to Moses, his will to the children of Israel.
103:8 The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, long-suffering, and full of
mercy.
103:9 He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever.
103:10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed us
according to our iniquities.
103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord has [so]
increased his mercy toward them that 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 pities [his] children, the Lord pities them that fear
him.
103:14 For he knows our frame: remember that we are dust.
103:15 [As for] man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so
shall he flourish.
103:16 For the wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know
its place no more.
103:17 But the mercy of the Lord is from generation to generation upon them
that fear him, and his righteousness to children's children;
103:18 to them that keep his covenant, and remember his commandments to do
them.
103:19 The Lord has prepared his throne in the heaven; and his kingdom rules
over all.
103:20 Bless the Lord, all ye his angels, mighty in strength, who perform
his bidding, [ready] to hearken to the voice of his words.
103:21 Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts; [ye] ministers of his that do his
will.
103:22 Bless the Lord, all his works, in every place of his dominion: bless
the Lord, O my soul. |
A [Psalm] of David. 103:1 Bless the LORD,
O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
103:4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with
lovingkindness and tender mercies;
103:5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is
renewed like the eagle's.
103:6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are
oppressed.
103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of
Israel.
103:8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in
mercy.
103:9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
103:10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according
to our iniquities.
103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy
toward them that fear him.
103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our
transgressions from us.
103:13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that
fear him.
103:14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
103:15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he
flourisheth.
103:16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof
shall know it no more.
103:17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon
them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
103:18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his
commandments to do them.
103:19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom
ruleth over all.
103:20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his
commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
103:21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his
pleasure.
103:22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless
the LORD, O my soul. |
