A Psalm of David. 1Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name. 2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits; 3Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, 4Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, 5Who satisfies your desires with good things; your youth is renewed like the eagle's. 6The LORD executes righteousness and judgment for all who are oppressed. 7He made known His ways unto Moses, His acts unto the children of Israel. 8The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in mercy. 9He will not always chasten, nor will He keep His anger forever. 10He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities, 11For as the heavens are high above the earth, so is His mercy toward those who fear Him. 12As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. 13As a father has compassion upon his children, so the LORD has compassion upon those who fear Him, 14For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust. 15As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourishes, 16For the wind passes over it, and it is gone; and its place shall know it no more. 17But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear Him, and His righteousness is unto children's children, 18To those who keep His covenant, and to those who remember His precepts to do them. 19The LORD has established His throne in the heavens; and His kingdom rules over all. 20Bless the LORD, O you His angels, mighty in strength, who do His commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His word. 21Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, ministers of His who do His pleasure. 22Bless the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul! A Faithful Version Copyright © 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011 York Publishing Company Post Office Box 1038 Hollister, California 95024-1038 All rights reserved.
