Psalms 103 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Berean Study Bible
Psalms 103
1Bless Jehovah, O my soul; And all that is within me, blesshis holy name.
2Bless Jehovah, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:
3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;
4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5Who satisfieth thy desire with good things, So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle.
6Jehovah executeth righteous acts, And judgments for all that are oppressed.
7He made known his ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel.
8Jehovah is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.
9He will not always chide; Neither will he keephis angerfor ever.
10He hath not dealt with us after our sins, Nor rewarded us after our iniquities.
11For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.
12As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13Like as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.
14For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.
15As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more.
17But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children’s children;
18To such as keep his covenant, And to those that remember his precepts to do them.
19Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens; And his kingdom ruleth over all.
20Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts, Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22Bless Jehovah, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion: Bless Jehovah, O my soul.
Psalms 103
1Bless the LORD, O my soul; all that is within me, bless His holy name.
2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—
3He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases,
4who redeems your life from the Pit and crowns you with loving devotion and compassion,
5who satisfies you with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
7He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.
8The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.
9He will not always accuse us, nor harbor His anger forever.
10He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid 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.
12As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.
14For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust.
15As for man, his days are like grass— he blooms like a flower of the field;
16when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers 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—
18to those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.
19The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.
20Bless the LORD, all His angels mighty in strength who carry out His word, who hearken to the voice of His command.
21Bless the LORD, all His hosts, you servants who do His will.
22Bless the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!
