| 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 do not forget all his benefits — |
| 3 | who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, |
| 4 | who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, |
| 5 | who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. |
| 6 | The LORD works vindication and justice for all who are oppressed. |
| 7 | He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel. |
| 8 | The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. |
| 9 | He will not always accuse, nor will he keep his anger forever. |
| 10 | He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. |
| 11 | For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; |
| 12 | as far as the east is from the west, so far he removes our transgressions from us. |
| 13 | As a father has compassion for his children, so the LORD has compassion for those who fear him. |
| 14 | For he knows how we were made; he remembers that we are dust. |
| 15 | As for mortals, their days are like grass; they flourish like a flower of the field; |
| 16 | for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more. |
| 17 | But the steadfast love 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 to do his commandments. |
| 19 | The LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all. |
| 20 | Bless the LORD, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, obedient to his spoken word. |
| 21 | Bless the LORD, all his hosts, his ministers that do his will. |
| 22 | Bless the LORD, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul. |
