- 1 By David. Praise the LORD, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!
- 2 Praise the LORD, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits,
- 3 who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,
- 4 who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,
- 5 who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
- 6 The LORD executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.
- 7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel.
- 8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
- 9 He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
- 10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.
- 11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
- 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
- 13 Like a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
- 14 For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
- 15 As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
- 16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.
- 17 But the LORD’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children,
- 18 to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.
- 19 The LORD has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
- 20 Praise the LORD, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.
- 21 Praise the LORD, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
- 22 Praise the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul!
