Chapter 103

  By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts -- His Holy Name.  

-

  Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,  

-

  Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,  

-

  Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee -- kindness and mercies,  

-

  Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.  

-

  Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.  

-

  He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.  

-

  Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.  

-

  Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.  

-

  Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.  

-

  For, as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.  

-

  As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.  

-

  As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.  

-

  For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.  

-

  Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;  

-

  For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.  

-

  And the kindness of Jehovah [Is] from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,  

-

  To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.  

-

  Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.  

-

  Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power -- doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.  

-

  Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers -- doing His pleasure.  

-

  Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
