Psalm 103

Of David.

Praise the Lord,(A) my soul;(B)
    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.(C)
Praise the Lord,(D) my soul,
    and forget not(E) all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins(F)
    and heals(G) all your diseases,
who redeems your life(H) from the pit
    and crowns you with love and compassion,(I)
who satisfies(J) your desires with good things
    so that your youth is renewed(K) like the eagle’s.(L)

The Lord works righteousness(M)
    and justice for all the oppressed.(N)

He made known(O) his ways(P) to Moses,
    his deeds(Q) to the people of Israel:
The Lord is compassionate and gracious,(R)
    slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse,
    nor will he harbor his anger forever;(S)
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve(T)
    or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love(U) for those who fear him;(V)
12 as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions(W) from us.

13 As a father has compassion(X) on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,(Y)
    he remembers that we are dust.(Z)
15 The life of mortals is like grass,(AA)
    they flourish like a flower(AB) of the field;
16 the wind blows(AC) over it and it is gone,
    and its place(AD) remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
    the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
    and his righteousness with their children’s children(AE)
18 with those who keep his covenant(AF)
    and remember(AG) to obey his precepts.(AH)

19 The Lord has established his throne(AI) in heaven,
    and his kingdom rules(AJ) over all.

20 Praise the Lord,(AK) you his angels,(AL)
    you mighty ones(AM) who do his bidding,(AN)
    who obey his word.
21 Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,(AO)
    you his servants(AP) who do his will.
22 Praise the Lord, all his works(AQ)
    everywhere in his dominion.

Praise the Lord, my soul.(AR)

大衛的詩。

耶和華的慈愛

103 我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華!
    凡在我裏面的,都要稱頌他的聖名!
我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華!
    不可忘記他一切的恩惠!
他赦免你一切的罪孽,
    醫治你一切的疾病。
他救贖你的命脫離地府,
    以仁愛和憐憫為你的冠冕。
他用美物使你的生命[a]得以滿足,
    以致你如鷹返老還童。

耶和華施行公義,
    為所有受欺壓的人伸冤。
他使摩西知道他的法則,
    使以色列人曉得他的作為。
耶和華有憐憫,有恩惠,
    不輕易發怒,且有豐盛的慈愛。
他不長久責備,
    也不永遠懷怒。
10 他沒有按我們的罪待我們,
    也沒有照我們的罪孽報應我們。
11 天離地何等的高,
    他的慈愛向敬畏他的人也是何等的大!
12 東離西有多遠,
    他叫我們的過犯離我們也有多遠!
13 父親怎樣憐憫他的兒女,
    耶和華也怎樣憐憫敬畏他的人!
14 因為他知道我們的本體,
    思念我們不過是塵土。

15 至於世人,他的年日如草一樣。
    他興旺如野地的花,
16 經風一吹,就歸無有,
    它的原處也不再認識它。
17 但耶和華的慈愛歸於敬畏他的人,
    從亙古到永遠;
    他的公義也歸於子子孫孫,
18 就是那些遵守他的約、
    記念他的訓詞而遵行的人。

19 耶和華在天上立定寶座,
    他的國統管萬有。
20 聽從他命令、成全他旨意、
    有大能的天使啊,你們都要稱頌耶和華!
21 你們行他所喜悅的,
    作他諸軍,作他僕役的啊,都要稱頌耶和華!
22 你們一切被他造的,
    在他所治理的各處,
    都要稱頌耶和華!

我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華!
