By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts--His Holy Name.
-
Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,
-
Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,
-
Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee--kindness and mercies,
-
Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.
-
Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
-
He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.
-
Merciful and gracious is Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
-
Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.
-
Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.
-
For, as the height of the heavens is above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.
-
As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.
-
As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.
-
For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we are dust.
-
Mortal man! as grass are his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;
-
For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.
-
And the kindness of Jehovah Is from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,
-
To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
-
Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.
-
Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power--doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.
-
Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers--doing His pleasure.
-
Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
