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 not 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
   so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

⁶ The LORD works righteousness
   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 chide,
   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 high as the heavens are 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 does he remove our transgressions from us.
¹³ As a father shows compassion to his children,
   so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.
¹⁴ For he knows our frame;
   he remembers that we are dust.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are like grass;
   he flourishes 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 word,
   obeying the voice of his word!
²¹ Bless the LORD, all his hosts,
   his ministers, who do his will!
²² Bless the LORD, all his works,
   in all places of his dominion.
Bless the LORD, O my soul!
