Zabur 103

By Dawud.

¹Praise Allah, my soul!

All that is within me, praise his holy name!

²Praise Allah, my soul,

And do not forget all his benefits;

³Who forgives all your sins;

Who heals all your diseases;

⁴Who redeems your life from destruction;

Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;

⁵Who satisfies your desire with good things,

So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

⁶Allah executes righteous acts,

And justice for all who are oppressed.

⁷He made known his ways to Musa,

His deeds to Bani-Israel.

⁸Allah is merciful and gracious,

Slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

⁹He will not always accuse;

Neither will he stay angry forever.

¹⁰He has not dealt with us according to our sins,

Nor repaid us for our iniquities.

¹¹For as the heavens are high above the earth,

So great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.

¹²As far as the east is from the west,

So far has he removed our transgressions from us.

¹³Like a father has compassion on his children,

So Allah has compassion on those who fear him.

¹⁴For he knows how we are made.

He remembers that we are dust.

¹⁵As for man, his days are like grass.

As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

¹⁶For the wind passes over it, and it is gone.

Its place remembers it no more.

¹⁷But Allah's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him,

His righteousness to children's children;

¹⁸To those who keep his covenant,

To those who remember to obey his precepts.

¹⁹Allah has established his throne in the heavens.

His kingdom rules over all.

²⁰Praise Allah, you angels of his,

Who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word,

Obeying the voice of his word.

²¹Praise Allah, all you hosts of his,

You servants of his, who do his pleasure.

²²Praise Allah, all you works of his,

In all places of his dominion.

Praise Allah, my soul.
