picture

1 P raise the Lord, O my soul. And all that is within me, praise His holy name.

2 P raise the Lord, O my soul. And forget none of His acts of kindness.

3 H e forgives all my sins. He heals all my diseases.

4 H e saves my life from the grave. He crowns me with loving-kindness and pity.

5 H e fills my years with good things and I am made young again like the eagle.

6 T he Lord does what is right and fair for all who suffer under a bad power.

7 H e made His ways known to Moses and His acts to the people of Israel.

8 T he Lord is full of loving-pity and kindness. He is slow to anger and has much loving-kindness.

9 H e will not always keep after us. And He will not keep His anger back forever.

10 H e has not punished us enough for all our sins. He has not paid us back for all our wrong-doings.

11 F or His loving-kindness for those who fear Him is as great as the heavens are high above the earth.

12 H e has taken our sins from us as far as the east is from the west.

13 T he Lord has loving-pity on those who fear Him, as a father has loving-pity on his children.

14 F or He knows what we are made of. He remembers that we are dust.

15 T he days of man are like grass. He grows like a flower of the field.

16 W hen the wind blows over it, it is gone. Its place will remember it no more.

17 B ut the loving-kindness of the Lord is forever and forever on those who fear Him. And what is right with God is given forever to their children’s children,

18 t o those who keep His agreement and remember to obey His Law.

19 T he Lord has set up His throne in the heavens. And His holy nation rules over all.

20 P raise the Lord, you powerful angels of His who do what He says, obeying His voice as He speaks!

21 P raise the Lord, all you armies of His who work for Him and do what pleases Him.

22 P raise the Lord, all His works in all places under His rule. Praise the Lord, O my soul!
