1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

1 An exhortation to bless God for his mercy, 15 and for the constancy thereof.

103:1 ¶ By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts—His Holy Name.

103:2 Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,

103:3 Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,

103:4 Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee—kindness and mercies,

103:5 Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.

103:6 Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.

103:7 He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.

103:8 Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

103:9 Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.

103:10 Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.

103:11 For, as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.

103:12 As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.

103:13 As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.

103:14 For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.

103:15 Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;

103:16 For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.

103:17 And the kindness of Jehovah [Is] from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,

103:18 To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.

103:19 Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.

103:20 Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power—doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.

103:21 Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers—doing His pleasure.

103:22 Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
