103 (Of Dovid). Barachi (Bless) Hashem, O my nefesh; and all that is within me, bless His Shem kodesh.

Barachi Hashem, O my nefesh, and forget not all His gmulim (benefits);

Who forgiveth all thine avonim (iniquities); Who healeth all thy diseases;

Who is the Go’el (Redeemer) of thy life from shachat (corruption, pit, grave); Who crowneth thee with chesed and rachamim;

Who satisfieth thy mouth with tov; so that thy ne’urim is made chadash like the nesher.

Hashem executeth tzedakot and mishpatim for all that are oppressed.

He made known His drakhim unto Moshe, His deeds unto the Bnei Yisroel.

Hashem is rachum and channun, slow to anger, and plenteous in chesed.

He will not strive l’netzach; neither will He keep His anger l’olam.

10 He hath not dealt with us according to chata’einu (our sins); nor repaid us according to avonoteinu (our iniquities).

11 For as Shomayim is high above ha’aretz, so great is His chesed toward them that fear Him.

12 As far as the mizrach (east) is from the ma’arav (west), so far hath He removed peysha’einu (our transgressions) from us.

13 As an av has compassion on banim so Hashem has compassion on them that fear Him.

14 For He has da’as of yitzreinu (our nature); He remembereth that aphar anachnu (dust we are).

15 As for enosh (mankind), his yamim are like khatzir (green grass, herbage); like tzitz hasadeh (a flower of the field), so he flourisheth.

16 For the ruach (wind) passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall remember it no more.

17 But the chesed Hashem is me’olam v’ad olam (from everlasting to everlasting) upon them that fear Him, and His tzedakah unto bnei banim;

18 To such as are shomer over His Brit, and to those that remember His precepts to do them.

19 Hashem hath established His kisse (throne) in Shomayim; and His malchut ruleth over all.

20 Barachu Hashem, ye His malachim, gibborei ko’ach (mighty ones of power), that do His bidding, paying heed unto the voice of His Davar.

21 Barachu Hashem, all ye His Tzivos; ye mesharetim (ministers) of His, that do His ratzon (will).

22 Barachu Hashem, all His ma’asim in all places of His memshalet (dominion); Barachi Hashem, O my nefesh.

Psalm 103

Of David.

Praise the Lord,(A) my soul;(B)
    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.(C)
Praise the Lord,(D) my soul,
    and forget not(E) all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins(F)
    and heals(G) all your diseases,
who redeems your life(H) from the pit
    and crowns you with love and compassion,(I)
who satisfies(J) your desires with good things
    so that your youth is renewed(K) like the eagle’s.(L)

The Lord works righteousness(M)
    and justice for all the oppressed.(N)

He made known(O) his ways(P) to Moses,
    his deeds(Q) to the people of Israel:
The Lord is compassionate and gracious,(R)
    slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse,
    nor will he harbor his anger forever;(S)
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve(T)
    or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love(U) for those who fear him;(V)
12 as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions(W) from us.

13 As a father has compassion(X) on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,(Y)
    he remembers that we are dust.(Z)
15 The life of mortals is like grass,(AA)
    they flourish like a flower(AB) of the field;
16 the wind blows(AC) over it and it is gone,
    and its place(AD) remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
    the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
    and his righteousness with their children’s children(AE)
18 with those who keep his covenant(AF)
    and remember(AG) to obey his precepts.(AH)

19 The Lord has established his throne(AI) in heaven,
    and his kingdom rules(AJ) over all.

20 Praise the Lord,(AK) you his angels,(AL)
    you mighty ones(AM) who do his bidding,(AN)
    who obey his word.
21 Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,(AO)
    you his servants(AP) who do his will.
22 Praise the Lord, all his works(AQ)
    everywhere in his dominion.

Praise the Lord, my soul.(AR)
