Praise the Lord, my soul

1
To David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and bless his holy name, all that is within me.
2
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his recompenses.
3
He forgives all your iniquities. He heals all your infirmities.
4
He redeems your life from destruction. He crowns you with mercy and compassion.
5
He satisfies your desire with good things. Your youth will be renewed like that of the eagle.
6
The Lord accomplishes mercies, and his judgment is for all who patiently endure injuries.
7
He has made his ways known to Moses, his will to the sons of Israel.
8
The Lord is compassionate and merciful, patient and full of mercy.
9
He will not be angry forever, and he will not threaten for eternity.
10
He has not dealt with us according to our sins, and he has not repaid us according to our iniquities.
11
For according to the height of the heavens above the earth, so has he reinforced his mercy toward those who fear him.
12
As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our iniquities from us.
13
As a father is compassionate to his sons, so has the Lord been compassionate to those who fear him.
14
For he knows our form. He has called to mind that we are dust.
15
Man: his days are like hay. Like the flower of the field, so will he flourish.
16
For the spirit in him will pass away, and it will not remain, and he will know his place no longer.
17
But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity, and even unto eternity, upon those who fear him. And his justice is with the sons of the sons,
18
with those who serve his covenant and have been mindful of his commandments by doing them.
19
The Lord has prepared his throne in heaven, and his kingdom will rule over all.
20
Bless the Lord, all you his Angels: powerful in virtue, doing his word, in order to heed the voice of his discourse.
21
Bless the Lord, all his hosts: his ministers who do his will.
22
Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul.

Praise the Lord, my soul

1
Praise the LORD, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!
2
Praise the LORD, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits,
3
who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,
4
who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,
5
who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6
The LORD executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.
7
He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel.
8
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
9
He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
10
He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.
11
For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
12
As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13
Like a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
14
For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
15
As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16
For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.
17
But the LORD’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children,
18
to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.
19
The LORD has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
20
Praise the LORD, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.
21
Praise the LORD, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
22
Praise the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul!
