Chapter 103 | |
1 | Bless YHVH, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. |
2 | Bless YHVH, 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 mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. |
6 | YHVH executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. |
7 | He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. |
8 | YHVH is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. |
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 according to our iniquities. |
11 | For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy 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 YHVH 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 mercy of YHVH 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 commandments to do them. |
19 | YHVH hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. |
20 |
Bless YHVH, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. |
21 | Bless ye YHVH, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. |
22 | Bless YHVH, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless YHVH, O my soul. |
