Psalms 102

¹To David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and bless his holy name, all that is within me.

²Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his recompenses.

³He forgives all your iniquities. He heals all your infirmities.

⁴He redeems your life from destruction. He crowns you with mercy and compassion.

⁵He satisfies your desire with good things. Your youth will be renewed like that of the eagle.

⁶The Lord accomplishes mercies, and his judgment is for all who patiently endure injuries.

⁷He has made his ways known to Moses, his will to the sons of Israel.

⁸The Lord is compassionate and merciful, patient and full of mercy.

⁹He will not be angry forever, and he will not threaten for eternity.

¹⁰He has not dealt with us according to our sins, and he has not repaid us according to our iniquities.

¹¹For according to the height of the heavens above the earth, so has he reinforced his mercy toward those who fear him.

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

¹³As a father is compassionate to his sons, so has the Lord been compassionate to those who fear him.

¹⁴For he knows our form. He has called to mind that we are dust.

¹⁵Man: his days are like hay. Like the flower of the field, so will he flourish.

¹⁶For the spirit in him will pass away, and it will not remain, and he will know his place no longer.

¹⁷But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity, and even unto eternity, upon those who fear him. And his justice is with the sons of the sons,

¹⁸with those who serve his covenant and have been mindful of his commandments by doing them.

¹⁹The Lord has prepared his throne in heaven, and his kingdom will rule over all.

²⁰Bless the Lord, all you his Angels: powerful in virtue, doing his word, in order to heed the voice of his discourse.

²¹Bless the Lord, all his hosts: his ministers who do his will.

²²Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul.

¹For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name.

²Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.

³Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.

⁴Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.

⁵Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle's.

⁶The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.

⁷He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.

⁸The Lord is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.

⁹He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever.

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

¹¹For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.

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

¹³As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him:

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

¹⁵Man's days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.

¹⁶For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no more.

¹⁷But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him: And his justice unto children's children,

¹⁸To such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.

¹⁹The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.

²⁰Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.

²¹Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.

²²Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
