# A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, his holy name. |
|
|
|
2
|
Bless the LORD, 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 destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; |
|
|
|
5
|
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. |
|
|
|
6
|
The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. |
|
|
|
7
|
He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. |
|
|
|
8
|
The LORD merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. |
|
|
|
9
|
He will not always chide: neither will he keep for ever. |
|
|
|
10
|
He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. |
|
|
|
11
|
For as the heaven is high above the earth, great is his mercy toward them that fear him. |
|
|
|
12
|
As far as the east is from the west, far hath he removed our transgressions from us. |
|
|
|
13
|
Like as a father pitieth children, the LORD pitieth them that fear him. |
|
|
|
14
|
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we dust. |
|
|
|
15
|
# As for man, his days 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 shall know it no more. |
|
|
|
17
|
But the mercy of the LORD from everlasting 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 commandments to do them. |
|
|
|
19
|
The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. |
|
|
|
20
|
Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. |
|
|
|
21
|
Bless ye the LORD, all his hosts; ministers of his, that do his pleasure. |
|
|
|
22
|
Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul. |
