Psalms 103

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Of David. Bless the LORD, my soul; all my being, bless his holy name!	1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, my soul; do not forget all the gifts of God,	2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who pardons all your sins, heals all your ills,	3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Delivers your life from the pit, surrounds you with love and compassion,	4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Fills your days with good things; your youth is renewed like the eagle's.	5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 The LORD does righteous deeds, brings justice to all the oppressed.	6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 His ways were revealed to Moses, mighty deeds to the people of Israel.	7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8 Merciful and gracious is the LORD, slow to anger, abounding in kindness.	8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9 God does not always rebuke, nurses no lasting anger,	9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 Has not dealt with us as our sins merit, nor requited us as our deeds deserve.	10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 As the heavens tower over the earth, so God's love towers over the faithful.	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 have our sins been removed from us.	12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on the faithful.	13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knows how we are formed, remembers that we are dust.	14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15 Our days are like the grass; like flowers of the field we blossom.	15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 The wind sweeps over us and we are gone; our place knows us no more.	16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the LORD'S kindness is forever, toward the faithful from age to age. He favors the children's children	17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
18 of those who keep his covenant, who take care to fulfill its precepts.	18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19 The LORD'S throne is established in heaven; God's royal power rules over all.	19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Bless the LORD, all you angels, mighty in strength and attentive, obedient to every command.	20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Bless the LORD, all you hosts, ministers who do God's will.	21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22 Bless the LORD, all creatures, everywhere in God's domain. Bless the LORD, my soul!	22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
