^1 (a)Bless the Lord, O my soul,
    and all that is within me,
    bless his holy name!
^2 (b)Bless the Lord, O my soul,
    and ^(c)forget not all his benefits,
³ who ^(d)forgives all your iniquity,
    who ^(e)heals all your diseases,
⁴ who ^(f)redeems your life from the pit,
    who ^(g)crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
⁵ who ^(h)satisfies you with good
    so that your youth is renewed like ⁽ⁱ⁾the eagle's.

⁶ The Lord works ^(j)righteousness
    and justice for all who are oppressed.
⁷ He made known his ^(k)ways to Moses,
    his ^(l)acts to the people of Israel.
⁸ The Lord is ^(m)merciful and gracious,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
^9 (n)He will not always chide,
    nor will he ^(o)keep his anger forever.
¹⁰ He does not deal with us ^(p)according to our sins,
    nor repay us according to our iniquities.
¹¹ For ^(q)as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his ^(r)steadfast love toward ^(s)those who fear him;
¹² as far as the east is from the west,
    so far does he ^(t)remove our transgressions from us.
¹³ As ^(u)a father shows compassion to his children,
    so the Lord shows compassion ^(v)to those who fear him.
¹⁴ For he knows our frame;^[a]
    he ^(w)remembers that we are dust.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are like ^(x)grass;
    he flourishes like ^(y)a flower of the field;
¹⁶ for ^(z)the wind passes over it, and ^(aa)it is gone,
    and ^(ab)its place knows it no more.
¹⁷ But ^(ac)the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on ^(ad)those who fear him,
    and his righteousness to ^(ae)children's children,
¹⁸ to those who ^(af)keep his covenant
    and ^(ag)remember to do his commandments.
¹⁹ The Lord has ^(ah)established his throne in the heavens,
    and his ^(ai)kingdom rules over all.

²⁰ Bless the Lord, O you ^(aj)his angels,
    you ^(ak)mighty ones who ^(al)do his word,
    obeying the voice of his word!
²¹ Bless the Lord, all his ^(am)hosts,
    his ^(an)ministers, who do his will!
^22 (ao)Bless the Lord, all his works,
    in all places of his dominion.
^(ap)Bless the Lord, O my soul!
