Psalm 103

1 Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

1 O my soul, bless God. From head to toe, I'll bless his holy name!

2 Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—

2 O my soul, bless God, don't forget a single blessing!

3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,

3 He forgives your sins - every one. He heals your diseases - every one.

4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,

4 He redeems you from hell - saves your life! He crowns you with love and mercy - a paradise crown.

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

5 He wraps you in goodness - beauty eternal. He renews your youth - you're always young in his presence.

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

6 God makes everything come out right; he puts victims back on their feet.

7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:

7 He showed Moses how he went about his work, opened up his plans to all Israel.

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

8 God is sheer mercy and grace; not easily angered, he's rich in love.

9 He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;

9 He doesn't endlessly nag and scold, nor hold grudges forever.

10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.

10 He doesn't treat us as our sins deserve, nor pay us back in full for our wrongs.

11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;

11 As high as heaven is over the earth, so strong is his love to those who fear him.

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

12 And as far as sunrise is from sunset, he has separated us from our sins.

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

13 As parents feel for their children, God feels for those who fear him.

14 for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.

14 He knows us inside and out, keeps in mind that we're made of mud.

15 The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field;

15 Men and women don't live very long; like wildflowers they spring up and blossom,

16 the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.

16 But a storm snuffs them out just as quickly, leaving nothing to show they were here.

17 But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children—

17 God's love, though, is ever and always, eternally present to all who fear him, Making everything right for them and their children

18 with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.

18 as they follow his Covenant ways and remember to do whatever he said.

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

19 God has set his throne in heaven; he rules over us all. He's the King!

20 Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.

20 So bless God, you angels, ready and able to fly at his bidding, quick to hear and do what he says.

21 Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.

21 Bless God, all you armies of angels, alert to respond to whatever he wills.

22 Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul.

22 Bless God, all creatures, wherever you are - everything and everyone made by God. And you, O my soul, bless God!
