¹ A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name!² Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,³ who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,⁴ who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,⁵ who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

⁶ The LORD works vindication and justice for all who are oppressed.⁷ He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel.⁸ The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.⁹ He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger for ever.¹⁰ He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor requite us according to our iniquities.¹¹ For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;¹² as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.¹³ As a father pities his children, so the LORD pities those who fear him.¹⁴ For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.¹⁵ As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field;¹⁶ for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.¹⁷ But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear him, and his righteousness to children's children,¹⁸ to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments.

¹⁹ The LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.²⁰ Bless the LORD, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word!²¹ Bless the LORD, all his hosts, his ministers that do his will!²² Bless the LORD, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!
