A Psalm of David.

¹ ¶ Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless the name of his holiness.

² Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

³ Who forgives all thine iniquities; who heals all thy diseases;

⁴ who redeems thy life from destruction; who crowns thee with mercy and compassion;

⁵ who satisfies thy mouth with good things so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

⁶ ¶ The LORD executes righteousness and justice unto all that suffer violence.

⁷ He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the sons of Israel.

⁸ The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

⁹ He will not always chide, neither will he keep his anger for ever.

¹⁰ He has not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

¹¹ For as the heavens are high above the earth so does he increase his mercy over those that fear him.

¹² As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our rebellions from us.

¹³ Like as a father has mercy upon his children, so the LORD has mercy upon those that fear him.

¹⁴ For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are as grass; as an open flower of the field, so he blossoms.

¹⁶ For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place shall know it no more.

¹⁷ But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon those that fear him, and his righteousness unto the children’s children,

¹⁸ to such as keep his covenant and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

¹⁹ ¶ The LORD has prepared his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.

²⁰ Bless the LORD, ye his angels, valiant and strong, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

²¹ Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts, ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

²² Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
