Psalm 103

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Psalms 103

The Lord's wonderful love

1 With all my heart
I praise the Lord,
and with all that I am
I praise his holy name!

2 With all my heart
I praise the Lord!
I will never forget
how kind he has been.

3 The Lord forgives our sins,
heals us when we are sick,

4 and protects us from death.
His kindness and love
are a crown on our heads.

5 Each day that we live,t
he provides for our needs
and gives us the strength
of a young eagle.

6 For all who are ill-treated,
the Lord brings justice.

7 He taught his Law to Moses
and showed all Israel
what he could do.

8 The Lord is merciful!t
He is kind and patient,
and his love never fails.

9 The Lord won't always be angry
and point out our sins;

10 he doesn't punish us
as our sins deserve.

11 How great is God's love for all
who worship him?
Greater than the distance
between heaven and earth!

12 How far has the Lord taken
our sins from us?
Further than the distance
from east to west!

13 Just as parents are kind
to their children,
the Lord is kind
to all who worship him,

14 because he knows
we are made of dust.

15 We humans are like grass
or wild flowers
that quickly bloom.

16 But a scorching wind blows,
and they quickly wither
to be for ever forgotten.

17 The Lord is always kind
to those who worship him,
and he keeps his promises
to their descendants

18 who faithfully obey him.

19 God has set up his kingdom
in heaven, and he rules
the whole creation.

20 All you mighty angels,
who obey God's commands,
come and praise your Lord!

21 All you thousands
who serve and obey God,
come and praise your Lord!

22 All God's creation
and all that he rules,
come and praise your Lord!
With all my heart
I praise the Lord!
