Psalm 103

PSALM 103

Bless Yahweh, O My Soul

Of David.

^1aBless Yahweh, O my soul,

And all that is within me, bless His ^bholy name.

²Bless Yahweh, O my soul,

And ^aforget none of His benefits;

³Who ^apardons all your iniquities,

Who ^bheals all your diseases;

⁴Who ^aredeems your life from the pit,

Who ^bcrowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;

⁵Who ^asatisfies your ¹years with good things,

So that your youth is ^brenewed like the eagle.

⁶Yahweh ^aperforms righteous deeds

And judgments for all who are ^boppressed.

⁷He ^amade known His ways to Moses,

His ^bacts to the sons of Israel.

⁸Yahweh is ^acompassionate and gracious,

^bSlow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.

⁹He ^awill not always contend with us,

And He will not ^bkeep His anger forever.

¹⁰He has ^anot dealt with us according to our sins,

And He has not rewarded us according to our iniquities.

¹¹For as high ^aas the heavens are above the earth,

So great is His lovingkindness toward those who ¹fear Him.

¹²As far as the east is from the west,

So far has He ^aremoved our transgressions from us.

^13aAs a father has compassion on his children,

So Yahweh has compassion on those who ¹fear Him.

¹⁴For ^aHe Himself knows ¹our form;

He ^bremembers that we are but ^cdust.

¹⁵As for man, his days are ^alike grass;

As a ^bflower of the field, so he flowers.

¹⁶When the ^awind has passed over it, it is no more,

And its ^bplace acknowledges it no longer.

¹⁷But the ^alovingkindness of Yahweh is from everlasting to everlasting on those who ¹fear Him,

And His ²righteousness ^bto children’s children,

¹⁸To ^athose who keep His covenant

And remember His precepts to do them.

¹⁹Yahweh has established His ^athrone in the heavens,

And His ^bkingdom rules over ¹all.

²⁰Bless Yahweh, you ^aHis angels,

^bMighty in strength, who ^cperform His word,

^dObeying the voice of His word!

²¹Bless Yahweh, all you ^aHis hosts,

You ^bwho serve Him, doing His will.

²²Bless Yahweh, ^aall you works of His,

In all places of His rule;

Bless Yahweh, O my soul!
