Psalm 103

Revised Version 1895

A Psalm of David.

1BlessH1288 the LORDH3068, O my soulH5315; and allH3605 that is withinH7130 meH5315, blessH1288 his holyH6944 nameH8034.

2BlessH1288 the LORDH3068, O my soulH5315, and forgetH7911 notH408 allH3605 his benefitsH1576:

3Who forgiveth allH3605 thine iniquitiesH5771; who healeth allH3605 thy diseasesH8463;

4Who redeemeth thy lifeH2416 from destructionH7845; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender merciesH7356:

5Who satisfieth thy mouth with goodH2896 things; so that thy youthH5271 is renewedH2318 like the eagleH5404.

6The LORDH3068 executeth righteousH6666 actsH6213, and judgmentsH4941 for allH3605 that are oppressedH6231.

7He madeH3045 knownH3045 his waysH1870 unto MosesH4872, his doings unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.

8The LORDH3068 is fullH7227 of compassion and graciousH2587, slowH750 to angerH639, and plenteous in mercyH3068.

9He will notH3808 alwaysH5769 chide; neitherH3808 will he keepH5201 his anger for everH5769.

10He hath notH3808 dealtH1580 with usH5921 afterH5921 our sinsH2399, norH3808 rewardedH1580 usH5921 afterH5921 our iniquitiesH5771.

11For as the heavenH8064 is highH1361 aboveH5921 the earthH776, soH3588 greatH1396 is his mercy towardH5921 them that fearH3373 him.

12As farH7368 as the eastH4217 is from the westH4628, soH4480 farH7368 hath he removedH7368 our transgressionsH6588 from usH4480.

13Like as a fatherH1 pitieth his childrenH1121, soH5921 the LORDH3068 pitieth them that fearH3373 him.

14For he knoweth our frameH3336; he remembereth that weH587 are dustH6083.

15As for manH582, his daysH3117 are as grassH2682; as a flowerH6731 of the fieldH7704, soH3651 he flourisheth.

16For the windH7307 passeth over it, and it is goneH369; and the placeH4725 thereof shall knowH5234 it noH3808 moreH5750.

17But the mercyH3068 of the LORDH3068 is from everlastingH5769 to everlastingH5769 uponH5921 them that fearH3373 him, and his righteousnessH6666 unto children’sH1121 childrenH1121;

18To such as keepH8104 his covenantH1285, and to those that rememberH2142 his preceptsH6490 to doH6213 them.

19The LORDH3068 hath establishedH3559 his throneH3678 in the heavensH8064; and his kingdomH4438 ruleth over allH3605.

20BlessH1288 the LORDH3068, ye angelsH4397 of his: ye mightyH1368 in strengthH3581, that fulfill his wordH1697, hearkening unto the voiceH6963 of his wordH1697.

21BlessH1288 the LORDH3068, allH3605 ye his hostsH6635; ye ministersH8334 of his, that doH6213 his pleasureH7522.

22BlessH1288 the LORDH3068, allH3605 ye his worksH4639, in allH3605 placesH4725 of his dominionH4475: blessH1288 the LORDH3068, O my soulH5315.
