A Psalm of David.
Bless the
Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless
his holy name.
02 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all
his benefits:
03 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who
healeth all thy diseases;
04 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who
crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender
mercies;
05 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so
that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
06 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment
for all that are oppressed.
07 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts
unto the children of Israel.
08 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to
anger, and plenteous in mercy.
09 He will not always chide: neither will he keep
his anger for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor
rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so
great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far
hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the
Lord pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that
we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower
of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;
and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting
to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his
righteousness unto children's children;
18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those
that remember his commandments to do them.
19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in the
heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in
strength, 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.
