A Psalm of David. 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 He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the sons of Israel. ⁸ The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness. ⁹ He will not always strive with us,
Nor will 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 His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. ¹² As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us. ¹³ Just as a father has compassion on his children,
So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. ¹⁴ For He Himself knows our frame;
He is mindful that 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 who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children, ¹⁸ To those who keep His covenant
And remember 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 perform His word,
Obeying the voice of His word! ²¹ Bless the LORD, all you His hosts,
You who serve Him, doing His will. ²² Bless the LORD, all you works of His,
In all places of His dominion;
Bless the LORD, O my soul!
