1Of David. Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and all within me, bless His holy name.

2Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits;

3He who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases;

4who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with kindness and tender mercies;

5who satisfies your desire with good; your youth is renewed like an eagle.

6Jehovah works righteousness and judgments for all the ones being oppressed.

7He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.

8Jehovah is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

9He will not always strive, and not will He keep His anger forever.

10He has not done to us according to our sins, and has not rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11For as the heavens are above the earth, so is His mercy mighty over those fearing Him.

12As far as the east is from the west, so far has He put our transgressions from us.

13As the pity of a father over his sons, so Jehovah pities those who fear Him.

14For He knows our form, remembering that we are dust.

15As for man, his days are as grass; as the flower of the field, so he flourishes.

16For the wind passes over it, and it is not; and its place never recognizes it again.

17But the mercy of Jehovah is from everlasting, even to everlasting, on those who fear Him; yea, His righteousness is to the sons of sons;

18to those who keep His covenant, and to those who remember His precepts, to do them.

19Jehovah has prepared His throne in Heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.

20Bless Jehovah, O angels of His; mighty in strength; doing His Word; listening to the voice of His Word.

21Bless Jehovah, all His hosts, ministers of His, doing His will.

22Bless Jehovah, all His works in all the places of His dominion; bless Jehovah, O my soul.
