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 not all His benefits:

3 W ho forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,

4 W ho redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

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

6 T he Lord executes righteousness And justice for all who are oppressed.

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

8 T he Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

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 punished us according to our iniquities.

11 F or as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy 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 A s a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who fear Him.

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

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

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

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

18 T o such as keep His covenant, And to those who remember His commandments to do them.

19 T he Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all.

20 B less the Lord, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word.

21 B less the Lord, all you His hosts, You ministers of His, who do His pleasure.

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