| 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
