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. |
