  • 1. {[A Psalm] of David.}<br>
    Bless Jehovah, O my soul; and all that is within me, [bless] his holy name!
  • 2. Bless Jehovah, 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 the pit, who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;
  • 5. Who satisfieth thine old age with good [things]; thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
  • 6. Jehovah executeth righteousness and justice for all that are oppressed.
  • 7. He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
  • 8. Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness.
  • 9. He will not always chide, neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.
  • 10. He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
  • 11. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving-kindness 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. As a father pitieth [his] children, so Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.
  • 14. For himself 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 knoweth it no more.
  • 17. But the loving-kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting and 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 precepts to do them.
  • 19. Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom ruleth over all.
  • 20. Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
  • 21. Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his that do his will.
  • 22. Bless Jehovah, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless Jehovah, O my soul!
