A Psalm of David. Bless
the LORD
, O my soul
: and all that is within
me, bless his holy
name
.
Bless the LORD
, O my soul
, and forget
not all his benefits
:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities
; who healeth
all thy diseases
;
Who redeemeth thy life
from destruction
; who crowneth
thee with lovingkindness
and tender mercies
;
Who satisfieth thy mouth
with good
things; so that thy youth
is renewed
like the eagle's
.
The LORD executeth
righteousness
and judgment
for all that are oppressed
.
He made known his ways
unto Moses
, his acts
unto the children
of Israel
.
The LORD is merciful
and gracious
, slow
to anger
, and plenteous
in mercy
.
He will not always chide
: neither will he keep
his anger for ever
.
He hath not dealt with us after our sins
; nor rewarded
us according to our iniquities
.
For as the heaven is high above
the earth
, so great
is his mercy
toward them that fear
him.
As far as the east
is from the west
, so far hath he removed
our transgressions
from us.
Like as a father pitieth
his children
, so the LORD
pitieth
them that fear
him.
For he knoweth our frame
; he remembereth
that we are dust
.
As for man, his days
are as grass
: as a flower
of the field
, so he flourisheth
.
For the wind passeth over
it, and it is gone; and the place
thereof shall know
it no more.
But the mercy of the LORD
is from everlasting
to
everlasting
upon them that fear
him, and his righteousness
unto children's
children
;
To such as keep his covenant
, and to those that remember
his commandments
to do
them.
The LORD hath prepared
his throne
in the heavens
; and his kingdom
ruleth
over all.
Bless the LORD
, ye his angels
, that excel
in strength
, that do
his commandments
, hearkening
unto the voice
of his word
.
Bless ye the LORD
, all ye his hosts
; ye ministers
of his, that do
his pleasure
.
Bless the LORD
, all his works
in all places
of his dominion
: bless
the LORD
, O my soul
.
