1(103) [A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all [that is] within me, [bless] his holy name.
1Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come unto thee.
2Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his praises:
2Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
3who forgives all your transgressions, who heals all your diseases;
3For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
4who redeems your life from corruption; who crowns you with mercy and compassion;
4My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
5who satisfies your desire with good things: [so that] your youth shall be renewed like [that] of the eagle.
5By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
6The Lord executes mercy and judgment for all that are injured.
6I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
7He made known his ways to Moses, his will to the children of Israel.
7I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
8The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, longsuffering, and full of mercy.
8Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.
9He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever.
9For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
10He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed us according to our iniquities.
10Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
11For as the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord has [so] increased his mercy toward them that fear him.
11My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
12As far as the east is from the west, [so far] has he removed our transgressions from us.
12But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.
13As a father pities [his] children, the Lord pities them that fear him.
13Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
14For he knows our frame: remember that we are dust .
14For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.
15[As for] man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so shall he flourish.
15So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
16For the wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know its place no more.
16When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
17But the mercy of the Lord is from generation to generation upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children's children;
17He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
18to them that keep his covenant, and remember his commandments to do them.
18This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord.
19The Lord has prepared his throne in the heaven ; and his kingdom rules over all.
19For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth;
20Bless the Lord, all you⌃ his angels, mighty in strength, who perform his bidding, [ready] to listen to the voice of his words.
20To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
21Bless the Lord , all you⌃ his hosts; [you⌃] ministers of his that do his will.
21To declare the name of the Lord in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
22Bless the Lord, all his works, in every place of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.
22When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.
