^1. 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 none of His benefits;

^3. Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases;

^4. Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;

^5. Who satisfies your [1] years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.

^6. The LORD performs [2] righteous deeds And judgments for all who are oppressed. 7He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.

^8. The LORD is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.

^9. He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever.

^10. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

^11. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who [3] fear Him.

^12. As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

^13. Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the LORD has compassion on those who [4] fear Him.

^14. For He Himself knows [5] our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust.

^15. As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

^16. When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its place acknowledges it no longer.

^17. But the lovingkindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who [7] fear Him, And His [6] righteousness to children's children,

^18. To those who keep His covenant And remember His precepts to do them.

^19. The LORD has established His throne in the heavens, And His [9] sovereignty rules over [8] all.

^20. Bless the LORD, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word, Obeying the voice of His word!

^21. Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, You who serve Him, doing His will.

^22. Bless the LORD, all you works of His, In all places of His dominion; Bless the LORD, O my soul!
