| 1 | Of David. Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. | |
| 2 | Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-- | |
| 3 | who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, | |
| 4 | who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, | |
| 5 | who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. | |
| 6 | The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. | |
| 7 | He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel: | |
| 8 | The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. | |
| 9 | He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; | |
| 10 | he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. | |
| 11 | For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for 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 a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; | |
| 14 | for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. | |
| 15 | As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; | |
| 16 | the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. | |
| 17 | But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD'S love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children-- | |
| 18 | with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts. | |
| 19 | The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all. | |
| 20 | Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word. | |
| 21 | Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will. | |
| 22 | Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the LORD, O my soul. | |
