Psalm 103

For some reason I forgot to post a lot of my aesthetic translations of psalms. Here’s one.

All

Extol Yahweh with all my breath ---
    His glorious uniqueness with all my being.

Extol Yahweh with all my breath,
    Recalling all the good he has done me.


He forgives all my perversity.
    He heals all my diseases.

He buys me back from death.
    He crowns me with faithful love and mercy.

He fills me full with delightful trinkets of goodness.
    My youth is renewed like an eagle.

Yahweh always does right ---
    Justice to all who are wronged.

He showed his ways to Moses;
    His exploits to the sons of Israel.


Yahweh is compassionate and gracious.
    His anger rises slowly; His faithful love overflows.

He doesn't constantly complain
    Or hold a grudge.

He doesn't pay us back for our offenses;
    Or punish us as we deserve for our evil deeds.      

As lofty as the heavens above the earth ---
    So great his faithful love toward those who fear him.

Distant as east from west ---
    So far he removes our crimes from us.


As a father pities his children,
    So Yahweh pities those who fear him.

Because he knows how we are made.
    He remembers that we are only dust.

A man's days are like grass;
    He blooms like a flower in the field.

The wind blows over it and it's gone.
    Its place no longer knows it.

But the faithful love of Yahweh 
    Is from everlasting and to everlasting
        To those who fear him.

He does nothing but good to the children's children
        Of those who cling to their agreement with him.
            And remember to do as he instructs.


Yahweh has placed his throne in the heavens
    And his kingdom rules all.

Extol Yahweh, you mighty messengers
    Who do what he says,
        Obeying the voice of his word!

Extol Yahweh, all his armies,
    His servants, accomplishing his delight!

Extol Yahweh, all he has made
    In all places he rules!

Extol Yahweh with all my breath!
