1.
Of David. Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
|
|
2.
Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits--
|
|
3.
who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
|
|
4.
who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
|
|
5.
who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
|
|
6.
The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
|
|
7.
He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:
|
|
8.
The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
|
|
9.
He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;
|
|
10.
he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
|
|
11.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
|
|
12.
as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
|
|
13.
As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
|
|
14.
for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
|
|
15.
As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;
|
|
16.
the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
|
|
17.
But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD'S love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children--
|
|
18.
with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.
|
|
19.
The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.
|
|
20.
Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.
|
|
21.
Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.
|
|
22.
Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
