[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 forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,

[4] who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

[5] who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

[6] The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed.

[7] He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel.

[8] The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

[9] He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever.

[10] He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities.

[11] For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;

[12] as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

[13] As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.

[14] For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.

[15] As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field;

[16] for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.

[17] But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children,

[18] to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments.

[19] The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.

[20] Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word!

[21] Bless the Lord, all his hosts, his ministers, who do his will!

[22] Bless the Lord, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul!
