Psalm 103 (ASV) - [A Psalm] of David. Bless

Psa 103:1

A Psalm of David.

Bless Jehovah, O my soul;

And all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Psa 103:2

Bless Jehovah, O my soul,

And forget not all his benefits:

Psa 103:3

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;

Who healeth all thy diseases;

Psa 103:4

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;

Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

Psa 103:5

Who satisfieth thy desire with good things,

So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle.

Psa 103:6

Jehovah executeth righteous acts,

And judgments for all that are oppressed.

Psa 103:7

He made known his ways unto Moses,

His doings unto the children of Israel.

Psa 103:8

Jehovah is merciful and gracious,

Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.

Psa 103:9

He will not always chide;

Neither will he keep his anger for ever.

Psa 103:10

He hath not dealt with us after our sins,

Nor rewarded us after our iniquities.

Psa 103:11

For as the heavens are high above the earth,

So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.

Psa 103:12

As far as the east is from the west,

So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Psa 103:13

Like as a father pitieth his children,

So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

Psa 103:14

For he knoweth our frame;

He remembereth that we are dust.

Psa 103:15

As for man, his days are as grass;

As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

Psa 103:16

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;

And the place thereof shall know it no more.

Psa 103:17

But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him,

And his righteousness unto children’s children;

Psa 103:18

To such as keep his covenant,

And to those that remember his precepts to do them.

Psa 103:19

Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens;

And his kingdom ruleth over all.

Psa 103:20

Bless Jehovah, ye his angels,

That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word,

Hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Psa 103:21

Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts,

Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

Psa 103:22

Bless Jehovah, all ye his works,

In all places of his dominion:

Bless Jehovah, O my soul.
