1 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits;
3 Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases;
4 Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;
5 Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
6 The LORD performs righteous deeds And judgments for all who are oppressed.
7 Hemade known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.
8 The LORD is compassionate andgracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.
9 He will not always strive with us, Norwill He keep His anger forever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is Hislovingkindness toward those who fear Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has Heremoved our transgressions from us.
13 Just as a father has compassion on his children, So theLORD has compassion on those who fear Him.
14 For He Himself knows our frame ; He is mindfulthat we are but dust.
15 As for man, his days are like grass ; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its place acknowledges it no longer.
17 But the lovingkindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those whofear Him, and His righteousness to children's children,
18 To those who keep His covenant Andremember His precepts to do them.
19 The LORD has established His throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all.
20 Bless the LORD, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who performHis word, Obeying the voice of His word!
21 Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, You who serveHim, doing His will.
22 Bless the LORD, all you works of His, In all places of His dominion ; Bless the LORD, O my soul !
