^(C1)Bless the LORD, my soul, And all that is within me, bless His ^(C2)holy name.

Bless the LORD, my soul, And ^(C1)do not forget any of His benefits;

Who ^(C1)pardons all your guilt, Who ^(C2)heals all your diseases;

Who ^(C1)redeems your life from the pit, Who ^(C2)crowns you with favor and compassion;

Who ^(C1)satisfies your ^(F1)years with good things, So that your youth is ^(C2)renewed like the eagle.

The LORD ^(C1)performs ^(F1)righteous deeds And judgments for all who are ^(C2)oppressed.

He ^(C1)made known His ways to Moses, His ^(C2)deeds to the sons of Israel.

The LORD is ^(C1)compassionate and gracious, ^(C2)Slow to anger and abounding in mercy.

He ^(C1)will not always contend with us, Nor will He ^(C2)keep His anger forever.

He has ^(C1)not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our guilty deeds.

For as high ^(C1)as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who ^(F1)fear Him.

As far as the east is from the west, So far has He ^(C1)removed our wrongdoings from us.

Just ^(C1)as a father has compassion on his children, So the LORD has compassion on those who ^(F1)fear Him.

For ^(C1)He Himself knows ^(F1)our form; He ^(C2)is mindful that we are nothing but ^(C3)dust.

As for man, his days are ^(C1)like grass; Like a ^(C2)flower of the field, so he flourishes.

When the ^(C1)wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its ^(C2)place no longer knows about it.

But the ^(F1)(C1)mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting for those who ^(F2)fear Him, And His justice ^(C2)to the children's children,

To ^(C1)those who keep His covenant And remember His precepts, so as to do them.

The LORD has established His ^(C1)throne in the heavens, And His ^(F1)(C2)sovereignty rules over ^(F2)all.

Bless the LORD, you ^(C1)His angels, ^(C2)Mighty in strength, who ^(C3)perform His word, ^(C4)Obeying the voice of His word!

Bless the LORD, all you ^(C1)His ^(F1)angels, You ^(C2)who serve Him, doing His will.

Bless the LORD, ^(C1)all you works of His, In all places of His dominion; Bless the LORD, my soul!
