Psalm 103
New International Version
Psalm 103
Of David.
1 Praise the Lord,(A) my soul;(B)
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.(C)
2 Praise the Lord,(D) my soul,
and forget not(E) all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins(F)
and heals(G) all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life(H) from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,(I)
5 who satisfies(J) your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed(K) like the eagle’s.(L)
7 He made known(O) his ways(P) to Moses,
his deeds(Q) to the people of Israel:
8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,(R)
slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 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)
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)
Psaltaren 103
Svenska 1917
103 Av David. Lova HERREN, min själ, och allt det i mig är hans heliga namn.
2 Lova HERREN, min själ, och förgät icke vad gott han har gjort,
3 han som förlåter dig alla dina missgärningar och helar alla dina brister,
4 han som förlossar ditt liv från graven och kröner dig med nåd och barmhärtighet,
5 han som mättar ditt begär med sitt goda, så att du bliver ung på nytt såsom en örn.
6 HERREN gör rättfärdighetens verk och skaffar rätt åt alla förtryckta.
7 Han lät Mose se sina vägar, Israels barn sina gärningar.
8 Barmhärtig och nådig är HERREN, långmodig och stor i mildhet.
9 Han går icke ständigt till rätta och behåller ej vrede evinnerligen.
10 Han handlar icke med oss efter våra synder och vedergäller oss icke efter våra missgärningar.
11 Ty så hög som himmelen är över jorden, så väldig är hans nåd över dem som frukta honom.
12 Så långt som öster är från väster låter han våra överträdelser vara från oss.
13 Såsom en fader förbarmar sig över barnen, så förbarmar sig HERREN över dem som frukta honom.
14 Ty han vet vad för ett verk vi äro, han tänker därpå att vi äro stoft.
15 En människas dagar äro såsom gräset, hon blomstrar såsom ett blomster på marken.
16 När vinden går däröver, då är det icke mer, och dess plats vet icke mer därav.
17 Men HERRENS nåd varar från evighet till evighet över dem som frukta honom, och hans rättfärdighet intill barnbarn,
18 när man håller hans förbund och tänker på hans befallningar och gör efter dem.
19 HERREN har ställt sin tron i himmelen, och hans konungavälde omfattar allt.
20 Loven HERREN, I hans änglar, I starke hjältar, som uträtten hans befallning, så snart I hören ljudet av hans befallning.
21 Loven HERREN, I alla hans härskaror, I hans tjänare, som uträtten hans vilja.
22 Loven HERREN, I alla hans verk, varhelst hans herradöme är. Min själ, lova HERREN.
Psalm 103
English Standard Version
Bless the Lord, O My Soul
Of David.
103 (A)Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
2 (B)Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and (C)forget not all his benefits,
3 who (D)forgives all your iniquity,
who (E)heals all your diseases,
4 who (F)redeems your life from the pit,
who (G)crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
5 who (H)satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like (I)the eagle's.
6 The Lord works (J)righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
7 He made known his (K)ways to Moses,
his (L)acts to the people of Israel.
8 The Lord is (M)merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 (N)He will not always chide,
nor will he (O)keep his anger forever.
10 He does not deal with us (P)according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For (Q)as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his (R)steadfast love toward (S)those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he (T)remove our transgressions from us.
13 As (U)a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion (V)to those who fear him.
14 For he knows our frame;[a]
he (W)remembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like (X)grass;
he flourishes like (Y)a flower of the field;
16 for (Z)the wind passes over it, and (AA)it is gone,
and (AB)its place knows it no more.
17 But (AC)the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on (AD)those who fear him,
and his righteousness to (AE)children's children,
18 to those who (AF)keep his covenant
and (AG)remember to do his commandments.
19 The Lord has (AH)established his throne in the heavens,
and his (AI)kingdom rules over all.
20 Bless the Lord, O you (AJ)his angels,
you (AK)mighty ones who (AL)do his word,
obeying the voice of his word!
21 Bless the Lord, all his (AM)hosts,
his (AN)ministers, who do his will!
22 (AO)Bless the Lord, all his works,
in all places of his dominion.
(AP)Bless the Lord, O my soul!
