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 the pit, who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;

 103:5 Who satisfieth thine old age with good [things]; thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

 103:6 Jehovah executeth righteousness and justice for all that are oppressed.

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

 103:8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness.

 103:9 He will not always chide, neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.

 103:10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

 103:11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving-kindness 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 As a father pitieth [his] children, so Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

 103:14 For himself 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 knoweth it no more.

 103:17 But the loving-kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting and 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, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

 103:21 Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his that do his will.

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