Psalm - 103

picture

1 B less Jehovah, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 B less Jehovah, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:

3 W ho forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;

4 W ho redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 W ho satisfieth thy desire with good things, So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle.

6 J ehovah executeth righteous acts, And judgments for all that are oppressed.

7 H e made known his ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel.

8 J ehovah is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.

9 H e will not always chide; Neither will he keep his anger for ever.

10 H e hath not dealt with us after our sins, Nor rewarded us after our iniquities.

11 F or as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.

12 A s far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

13 L ike as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

14 F or he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.

15 A s for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

16 F or the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more.

17 B ut the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children's children;

18 T o such as keep his covenant, And to those that remember his precepts to do them.

19 J ehovah hath established his throne in the heavens; And his kingdom ruleth over all.

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

21 B less Jehovah, all ye his hosts, Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

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