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 not all his benefits: | |
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; | |
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; | |
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. | |
6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. | |
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. | |
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. | |
9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. | |
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. | |
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. | |
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. | |
13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. | |
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. | |
15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. | |
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. | |
17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; | |
18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. | |
19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. | |
20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. | |
21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. | |
22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul. | |
