1 | Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless
his holy name. |
|
2 | Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: |
|
3 | Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy
diseases; |
|
4 | Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee
with lovingkindness and tender mercies; |
|
5 | Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth
is renewed like the eagle's. |
|
6 | The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are
oppressed. |
|
7 | He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children
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 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. |
