Psalm 103, side by side

¹Of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; all that is within me, bless His holy name.

¹Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

²Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—

²Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

³He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases,

³Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

⁴who redeems your life from the Pit and crowns you with loving devotion and compassion,

⁴Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

⁵who satisfies you with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

⁵Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

⁶The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

⁶The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

⁷He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.

⁷He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

⁸The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.

⁸The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

⁹He will not always accuse us, nor harbor His anger forever.

⁹He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

¹⁰He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities.

¹⁰He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

¹¹For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving devotion for those who fear Him.

¹¹For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

¹²As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

¹²As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

¹³As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

¹³Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

¹⁴For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust.

¹⁴For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

¹⁵As for man, his days are like grass— he blooms like a flower of the field;

¹⁵As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

¹⁶when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.

¹⁶For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

¹⁷But from everlasting to everlasting the loving devotion of the LORD extends to those who fear Him, and His righteousness to their children’s children—

¹⁷But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;

¹⁸to those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.

¹⁸To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

¹⁹The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.

¹⁹The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

²⁰Bless the LORD, all His angels mighty in strength who carry out His word, who hearken to the voice of His command.

²⁰Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

²¹Bless the LORD, all His hosts, you servants who do His will.

²¹Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

²²Bless the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!

²²Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
