| Chapter 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. Psalm 104
