Psalms 103

1 An exhortation to bless God for his mercy, 15 and for the constancy thereof.

 103:1 ¶ [[[A Psalm] of David.]] Bless Jehovah, O my soul; And all that is within me, [bless] his holy name.

 103:2 Bless Jehovah, 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 desire with good things, [So that] thy youth is renewed like the eagle.

 103:6 Jehovah executeth righteous acts, And judgments for all that are oppressed.

 103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel.

 103:8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.

 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 after our iniquities.

 103:11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his lovingkindness 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 Jehovah 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 lovingkindness of Jehovah 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 precepts to do them.

 103:19 Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens; And his kingdom ruleth over all.

 103:20 Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word.

 103:21 Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts, Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

 103:22 Bless Jehovah, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion: Bless Jehovah, O my soul.
