1Bless the Lord, O my soul, *and all that is within me, bless his holy Name.
2Bless the Lord, O my soul, *and forget not all his benefits.
3He forgives all your sins *and heals all your infirmities;
4He redeems your life from the grave *and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness;
5He satisfies you with good things, *and your youth is renewed like an eagle’s.
6The Lord executes righteousness *and judgment for all who are oppressed.
7He made his ways known to Moses *and his works to the children of Israel.
8The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, *slow to anger and of great kindness.
9He will not always accuse us, *nor will he keep his anger for ever.
10He has not dealt with us according to our sins, *nor rewarded us according to our wickedness.
11For as the heavens are high above the earth, *so is his mercy great upon those who fear him.
12As far as the east is from the west, *so far has he removed our sins from us.
13As a father cares for his children, *so does the Lord care for those who fear him.
14For he himself knows whereof we are made; *he remembers that we are but dust.
15Our days are like the grass; *we flourish like a flower of the field;
16When the wind goes over it, it is gone, *and its place shall know it no more.
17But the merciful goodness of the Lord endures for ever on those who fear him, *and his righteousness on children’s children;
18On those who keep his covenant *and remember his commandments and do them.
19The Lord has set his throne in heaven, *and his kingship has dominion over all.
20Bless the Lord, you angels of his,
you mighty ones who do his bidding, *and hearken to the voice of his word.
21Bless the Lord, all you his hosts, *you ministers of his who do his will.
22Bless the Lord, all you works of his,
in all places of his dominion; *bless the Lord, O my soul.
