| Chapter 103 |
1 |
By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts -- His Holy Name.
|
2 |
Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,
|
3 |
Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,
|
4 |
Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee -- kindness and mercies,
|
5 |
Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.
|
6 |
Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
|
7 |
He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.
|
8 |
Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
|
9 |
Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.
|
10 |
Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.
|
11 |
For, as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.
|
12 |
As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.
|
13 |
As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.
|
14 |
For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
|
15 |
Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;
|
16 |
For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.
|
17 |
And the kindness of Jehovah [Is] from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,
|
18 |
To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
|
19 |
Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.
|
20 |
Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power -- doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.
|
21 |
Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers -- doing His pleasure.
|
22 |
Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
