103 Bless Yahweh, O my soul,
and all within me, bless his holy name.
² Bless Yahweh, O my soul,
and do not forget all his benefits:
³ who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
⁴ who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with loyal love and mercies,
⁵ who satisfies your life with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
⁶ Yahweh does deeds of justice
and judgments for all who are oppressed,
⁷ who made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people^[b] of Israel.
⁸ Yahweh is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger^[c] and abundant in loyal love.
⁹ He does not dispute continually,
nor keep his anger forever.
¹⁰ He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
nor repaid us according to our iniquities.
¹¹ For as the heavens are high above the earth,
so his loyal love prevails over those who fear him.
¹² As far as east is from west,
so he has removed far from us the guilt of our transgressions.
¹³ As a father pities^[d] his children,
so Yahweh pities^[e] those who fear him.
¹⁴ For he knows our frame.^[f]
He remembers that we are dust.
¹⁵ As for man, his days are like the grass.
As the flower of the field, so he blossoms.
¹⁶ When the wind passes over it, it is no more,
and its place knows it no longer.
¹⁷ But the loyal love of Yahweh
is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to their children’s children,
¹⁸ to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his precepts.
¹⁹ Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over all.
²⁰ Bless Yahweh, you his angels,
you mighty heroes who do his word
by obeying^[g] the sound of his word.
²¹ Bless Yahweh, all you his hosts,
you his attendants who do his will.
²² Bless Yahweh, all his works,^[h]
in all the places of his dominion.
Bless Yahweh, O my soul.
