¹ Of David. Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and all within me, bless His holy name.² Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits;³ He who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases;⁴ who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with kindness and tender mercies;⁵ who satisfies your desire with good; your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

⁶ Jehovah works righteousness and judgments for all the oppressed.⁷ He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.⁸ Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and of abundant mercy.⁹ He will not always chasten, nor will He keep His anger forever.¹⁰ He has not done to us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.¹¹ For as the heavens are above the earth, so is His mercy mighty over 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 the pity of a father over his sons, so Jehovah pities those who fear Him.¹⁴ For He knows how we are made, remembering that we are dust.¹⁵ As for man, his days are as grass; as the flower of the field, so he flourishes.¹⁶ For the wind passes over it, and it is not; and its place never knows it again.¹⁷ But the mercy of Jehovah is from everlasting, even to everlasting, on those who fear Him; yea, His righteousness is to the sons of sons;¹⁸ to those who keep His covenant, and to those who remember His commandments, to do them.

¹⁹ Jehovah has prepared His throne in Heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.²⁰ Bless Jehovah, O angels of His; mighty in strength; doing His Word; listening to the voice of His Word.²¹ Bless Jehovah, all His hosts, ministers of His, doing His will.²² Bless Jehovah, all His works in all the places of His dominion; bless Jehovah, O my soul.
