Bless the Lord, O my
soul;
And all that is
within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my
soul,
And forget not all
His benefits:
Who forgives all your
iniquities,
Who heals all your
diseases,
Who redeems your life
from destruction,
Who crowns you with
lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your
mouth with good things,
So that your youth is
renewed like the eagle’s.
The Lord executes
righteousness
And justice for all
who are oppressed.
He made known His
ways to Moses,
His acts to the
children of Israel.
The Lord is merciful
and gracious,
Slow to anger, and
abounding in mercy.
He will not always
strive with us,
Nor will He keep His
anger forever.
He has not dealt with
us according to our sins,
Nor punished us
according to our iniquities.
For as the heavens
are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy
toward those who fear Him;
As far as the east is
from the west,
So far has He removed
our transgressions from us.
As a father pities
his children,
So the Lord pities
those who fear Him.
For He knows our
frame;
He remembers that we
are dust.
As for man, his days
are like grass;
As a flower of the
field, so he flourishes.
For the wind passes
over it, and it is gone,
And its place
remembers it no more.[a]
But the mercy of the
Lord is from everlasting to everlasting
On those who fear
Him,
And His righteousness
to children’s children,
To such as keep His
covenant,
And to those who
remember His commandments to do them.
The Lord has
established His throne in heaven,
And His kingdom rules
over all.
Bless the Lord, you
His angels,
Who excel in
strength, who do His word,
Heeding the voice of
His word.
Bless the Lord, all
you His hosts,
You ministers of His,
who do His pleasure.
Bless the Lord, all
His works,
In all places of His
dominion.
Bless the Lord, O my
soul!
