1 B less the Lord, O my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name.

2 B less the Lord, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits;

3 W ho pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases;

4 W ho redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;

5 W ho satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.

6 T he Lord performs righteous deeds And judgments for all who are oppressed.

7 H e made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.

8 T he Lord is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.

9 H e will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever.

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

11 F or as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him.

12 A s far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13 J ust as a father has compassion on his children, So the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.

14 F or He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust.

15 A s for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

16 W hen the wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its place acknowledges it no longer.

17 B ut the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children,

18 T o those who keep His covenant And remember His precepts to do them.

19 T he Lord has established His throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all.

20 B less the Lord, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word, Obeying the voice of His word!

21 B less the Lord, all you His hosts, You who serve Him, doing His will.

22 B less the Lord, all you works of His, In all places of His dominion; Bless the Lord, O my soul!
