Psalms 103

1Bless Jehovah, O my soul;

2Bless Jehovah, O my soul,

3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;

4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;

5Who satisfieth thy desire with good things,

6Jehovah executeth righteous acts,

7He made known his ways unto Moses,

8Jehovah is merciful and gracious,

9He will not always chide;

10He hath not dealt with us after our sins,

11For as the heavens are high above the earth,

12As far as the east is from the west,

13Like as a father pitieth his children,

14For he knoweth our frame;

15As for man, his days are as grass;

16For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;

17But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him,

18To such as keep his covenant,

19Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens;

20Bless Jehovah, ye his angels,

21Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts,

22Bless Jehovah, all ye his works,
