2 P raise the Lord, O my soul. And forget none of His acts of kindness.
Bless Jehovah, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:
3 H e forgives all my sins. He heals all my diseases.
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;
4 H e saves my life from the grave. He crowns me with loving-kindness and pity.
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 H e fills my years with good things and I am made young again like the eagle.
Who satisfieth thy desire with good things, So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle.
6 T he Lord does what is right and fair for all who suffer under a bad power.
Jehovah executeth righteous acts, And judgments for all that are oppressed.
7 H e made His ways known to Moses and His acts to the people of Israel.
He made known his ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel.
8 T he Lord is full of loving-pity and kindness. He is slow to anger and has much loving-kindness.
Jehovah is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.
9 H e will not always keep after us. And He will not keep His anger back forever.
He will not always chide; Neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 H e has not punished us enough for all our sins. He has not paid us back for all our wrong-doings.
He hath not dealt with us after our sins, Nor rewarded us after our iniquities.
11 F or His loving-kindness for those who fear Him is as great as the heavens are high above the earth.
For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.
12 H e has taken our sins from us as far as the east is from the west.
As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13 T he Lord has loving-pity on those who fear Him, as a father has loving-pity on his children.
Like as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.
14 F or He knows what we are made of. He remembers that we are dust.
For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.
15 T he days of man are like grass. He grows like a flower of the field.
As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 W hen the wind blows over it, it is gone. Its place will remember it no more.
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know 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,
But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children's children;
18 t o those who keep His agreement and remember to obey His Law.
To such as keep his covenant, And to those that remember his precepts to do them.
19 T he Lord has set up His throne in the heavens. And His holy nation rules over all.
Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens; And his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 P raise the Lord, you powerful angels of His who do what He says, obeying His voice as He speaks!
Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 P raise the Lord, all you armies of His who work for Him and do what pleases Him.
Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts, Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22 P raise the Lord, all His works in all places under His rule. Praise the Lord, O my soul!
Bless Jehovah, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion: Bless Jehovah, O my soul.
