1 ¶ Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless the name of his holiness.

2 B less the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

3 W ho forgives all thine iniquities; who heals all thy diseases;

4 w ho redeems thy life from destruction; who crowns thee with mercy and compassion;

5 w ho satisfies thy mouth with good things so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6 ¶ The LORD executes righteousness and justice unto all that suffer violence.

7 H e made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the sons of Israel.

8 T he LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

9 H e will not always chide, neither will he keep his anger for ever.

10 H e has not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11 F or as the heavens are high above the earth so does he increase his mercy over those that fear him.

12 A s far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our rebellions from us.

13 L ike as a father has mercy upon his children, so the LORD has mercy upon those that fear him.

14 F or he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.

15 A s for man, his days are as grass; as an open flower of the field, so he blossoms.

16 F or the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place shall know it no more.

17 B ut the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon those that fear him, and his righteousness unto the children’s children,

18 t o such as keep his covenant and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

19 ¶ The LORD has prepared his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.

20 B less the LORD, ye his angels, valiant and strong, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

21 B less ye the LORD, all ye his hosts, ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

22 B less the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
