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

2 B less, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,

3 W ho is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,

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

5 W ho is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.

6 J ehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.

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

8 M erciful and gracious Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

9 N ot for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.

10 N ot according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.

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

12 A s the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.

13 A s a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.

14 F or He hath known our frame, Remembering that we dust.

15 M ortal man! as grass his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;

16 F or a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.

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

18 T o those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.

19 J ehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.

20 B less Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power -- doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.

21 B less Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers -- doing His pleasure.

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