Psalms 103:2-18

2BlessH1288 YhwhH3068, O my soulH5315, and forgetH7911 not all his benefitsH1576:

3Who forgivethH5545 all thine iniquitiesH5771; who healethH7495 all thy diseasesH8463;

4Who redeemethH1350 thy lifeH2416 from destructionH7845; who crownethH5849 thee with lovingkindnessH2617 and tender merciesH7356;

5Who satisfiethH7646 thy mouthH5716 with goodH2896 things; so that thy youthH5271 is renewedH2318 like the eagle’sH5404.

6YhwhH3068 executethH6213 righteousnessH6666 and judgmentH4941 for all that are oppressedH6231.

7He made knownH3045 his waysH1870 unto MosesH4872, his actsH5949 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.

8YhwhH3068 is mercifulH7349 and graciousH2587, slowH750 to angerH639, and plenteousH7227 in mercyH2617.1

9He will not alwaysH5331 chideH7378: neither will he keepH5201 his anger for everH5769.

10He hath not dealtH6213 with us after our sinsH2399; nor rewardedH1580 us according to our iniquitiesH5771.

11For as the heavenH8064 is high aboveH1361 the earthH776, so greatH1396 is his mercyH2617 toward them that fearH3373 him.2

12As far asH7368 the eastH4217 is from the westH4628, so far hath he removedH7368 our transgressionsH6588 from us.

13Like as a fatherH1 pitiethH7355 his childrenH1121, so YhwhH3068 pitiethH7355 them that fearH3373 him.

14For he knowethH3045 our frameH3336; he rememberethH2142 that we are dustH6083.

15As for manH582, his daysH3117 are as grassH2682: as a flowerH6731 of the fieldH7704, so he flourishethH6692.

16For the windH7307 passeth overH5674 it, and it is gone; and the placeH4725 thereof shall knowH5234 it no more.3

17But the mercyH2617 of YhwhH3068 is from everlastingH5769 toH5704 everlastingH5769 upon them that fearH3373 him, and his righteousnessH6666 unto children’sH1121 childrenH1121;

18To such as keepH8104 his covenantH1285, and to those that rememberH2142 his commandmentsH6490 to doH6213 them.
