1By David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all my being, His holy Name.
2My soul, bless the Lord; forget not all His favors:
3Who forgives all your sins, Who heals all your illnesses;
4Who redeems your life from the grave, Who crowns you with kindness and mercy;
5Who satisfies your mouth with goodness; like the eagle, your youth is renewed.
6The Lord executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
7He made His ways known to Moses, His deeds to the Children of Israel.
8The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and of great kindness.
9He will not contend for eternity, nor harbor ill will forever.
10He has not dealt with us according to our transgressions, nor requited us according to our sins.
11For as high as heaven is above the earth, so has His kindness been mighty over those who fear Him.
12As far as the east is from the west, so has He distanced our transgressions from us.
13As a father has compassion on his children, so has the Lord had compassion on those who fear Him.
14For He knows our nature; He is mindful that we are but dust.
15As for man, his days are like grass; like a flower of the field, so he sprouts.
16When a wind passes over him, he is gone; his place recognizes him no more.
17But the kindness of the Lord is forever and ever upon those who fear Him, and His righteousness is [secured] for children's children,
18to those who keep His covenant, and to those who remember His commands to do them.
19The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His kingship has dominion over all.
20Bless the Lord, you His angels who are mighty in strength, who do His bidding to obey the voice of His speech.
21Bless the Lord, all His hosts, His servants who do His will.
22Bless the Lord, all His works, in all the places of His dominion. My soul, bless the Lord!
