^1 (a)Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And all that is within me, bless His ^(b)holy name.
² Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And ^(c)forget none of His benefits;
³ Who ^(d)pardons all your iniquities,
Who ^(e)heals all your diseases;
⁴ Who ^(f)redeems your life from the pit,
Who ^(g)crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;
⁵ Who ^(h)satisfies your ^[a]years with good things,
So that your youth is ⁽ⁱ⁾renewed like the eagle.

⁶ The Lord ^(j)performs ^[b]righteous deeds
And judgments for all who are ^(k)oppressed.
⁷ He ^(l)made known His ways to Moses,
His ^(m)acts to the sons of Israel.
⁸ The Lord is ⁽ⁿ⁾compassionate and gracious,
^(o)Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.
⁹ He ^(p)will not always strive with us,
Nor will He ^(q)keep His anger forever.
¹⁰ He has ^(r)not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
¹¹ For as high ^(s)as the heavens are above the earth,
So great is His lovingkindness toward those who ^[c]fear Him.
¹² As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He ^(t)removed our transgressions from us.
¹³ Just ^(u)as a father has compassion on his children,
So the Lord has compassion on those who ^[d]fear Him.
¹⁴ For ^(v)He Himself knows ^[e]our frame;
He ^(w)is mindful that we are but ^(x)dust.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are ^(y)like grass;
As a ^(z)flower of the field, so he flourishes.
¹⁶ When the ^(aa)wind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its ^(ab)place acknowledges it no longer.
¹⁷ But the ^(ac)lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who ^[f]fear Him,
And His ^[g]righteousness ^(ad)to children's children,
¹⁸ To ^(ae)those who keep His covenant
And remember His precepts to do them.

¹⁹ The Lord has established His ^(af)throne in the heavens,
And His ^[h](ag)sovereignty rules over ^[i]all.
²⁰ Bless the Lord, you ^(ah)His angels,
^(ai)Mighty in strength, who ^(aj)perform His word,
^(ak)Obeying the voice of His word!
²¹ Bless the Lord, all you ^(al)His hosts,
You ^(am)who serve Him, doing His will.
²² Bless the Lord, ^(an)all you works of His,
In all places of His dominion;
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
