By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts -- His Holy Name.

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

Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,

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

Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,

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

Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee -- kindness and mercies,

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

Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.

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

Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.

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

He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.

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

Merciful and gracious Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

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

Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.

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

Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.

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 height of the heavens above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.

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

As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.

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

As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.

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

For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we dust.

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

Mortal man! as grass his days, 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 a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any 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,

And the kindness of Jehovah from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,

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

To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering 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 in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.

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 messengers, Mighty in power -- doing His word, To hearken to 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, His ministers -- doing 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, O my soul, Jehovah!
