| Chapter 103 |
1 |
By David. Bless, O my soul, Yehovah, And all my inward parts -- His Holy Name. |
2 |
Bless, O my soul, Yehovah, 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 |
Yehovah 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 Yehovah, 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, Yehovah 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 Yehovah 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 |
Yehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled. |
20 |
Bless Yehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power -- doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word. |
21 |
Bless Yehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers -- doing His pleasure. |
22 |
Bless Yehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Yehovah! |
