Psalm 103 (My personalized version)
Bless You, Yahweh, oh my soul!
Bless Your Holy Name, all that is within me!
Bless You, Yahweh, oh my soul;
May I remember all Your kindnesses:
You forgive all my offenses,
You cure all my diseases,
You have redeemed my life from the Pit,
You crown me with love and tenderness,
You fill my years with prosperity,
You renew my youth like an eagle’s.
Yahweh, You do what is right, and just, and true;
You revealed Your intentions to Moses,
Your prowess to Your chosen, the sons of Israel.
Yahweh, You are tender and compassionate,
Slow to anger, most loving;
Your indignation does not last for ever,
Your resentment is fleeting;
You never treat me, never punish me,
As my guilt and sins deserve.
More than the height of heaven over earth
Is the greatness of Your love for us who fear him;
You take our sins farther away
Than the east is from the west.
As tenderly as a father treats his children,
So You, Yahweh, treat us who fear You;
You know of what You made us,
You remember we are dust.
My life on earth lasts no longer than grass,
No longer than a wild flower will I live here;
One gust of wind, and I am gone,
Never to be seen here again;
Yet Your love, Yahweh, for us who fear You
Lasts from all eternity and for ever,
Like Your goodness to our children’s children,
Your sovereignty is over all.
Bless Yahweh, all His angels,
Heroes mighty to enforce His Word,
Attentive to His Word of command.
Bless Yahweh, all His armies,
Servants to enforce His Will.
Bless Yahweh, all His creatures
Everywhere, from all time!
Bless You, Yahweh, oh my soul.
Bless You, oh my Savior!
