Of David.
103 Let me praise Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah};
Let everything within me praise his holy name.
2 Let me praise Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah};
May I never forget all that he has done.
3 He forgives all your errors
And heals all your ailments;
4 He reclaims your life from the pit
And crowns you with his loyal love and mercy.
5 He satisfies you with good things all your life,
So that your youth is renewed like that of an eagle.
6 Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} acts with righteousness and justice
For all who are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses,
His deeds to the sons of Isra'Al.
8 Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} is merciful and compassionate,
Slow to anger and abundant in loyal love.
9 He will not always find fault,
Nor will he stay resentful forever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor has he repaid us what our errors deserve.
11 For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So great is his loyal love toward those who fear him.
12 As far off as the sunrise is from the sunset,
So far off from us he has put our transgressions.
13 As a father shows mercy to his sons,
Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} has shown mercy to those who fear him.
14 For he well knows how we are formed,
Remembering that we are dust.
15 As for mortal man, his days are like those of grass;
He blooms like a blossom of the field.
16 But when a wind blows, it is no more,
17 But the loyal love of Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} is for all eternity
Toward those who fear him,
And his righteousness toward their children’s children,
18 Toward those who keep his covenant
And those who are careful to observe his orders.
19 Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} has firmly established his throne in the heavens;
And his kingship rules over everything.
20 Praise Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, all you his angels, mighty in power,
Who carry out his word, obeying his voice.
21 Praise Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, all his armies,
His ministers who do his will.
22 Praise Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, all his works,
In all the places where he rules.
Let my whole being praise Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}.
