A psalm of David.
1 O Thou my soul, Jehovah bless,
and all things that in me
most inward are, in humbleness
his Holy-Name bless ye
2 The Lord bless in humility,
o thou my soul: also
put not out of thy memory
all’s bounties, thee unto.
3 For he it is who pardoneth
all thine iniquities:
he it is also who healeth
all thine infirmities.
4 Who thy life from destruction
redeems: who crowneth thee
with his tender compassion
and kind benignity.
5 Who with good things abundantly
doth satisfy thy mouth:
so that like as the Eagles be
renewed is thy youth.
6 The Lord doth judgment and justice
for all oppressed ones.
7 To Moses shew’d those ways of his:
his acts to Isr’el’s sons.
(2)
8 The Lord is merciful also
he's very gracious:
and unto anger he is slow,
in mercy plenteous.
9 Contention he will not maintain
to perpetuity:
nor he his anger will retain
unto eternity.
10 According to our sins likewise
to us he hath not done:
nor hath he our iniquities
rewarded us upon.
11 Because even as the heavens are
in height the earth above:
so toward them that do him fear
confirmed is his love.
12 Like as the East and West they are
far in their distances:
he hath remov’d away so far
from us our trespasses.
13 A fathers pity like unto,
which he his sons doth bear:
like pity doth Jehovah show
to them that do him fear.
14 For he doth know this frame of ours:
he minds that dust we be.
15 Mans days are like the grass: like flowrs
in field, so flourisheth he.
16 For over it the wind doth pass,
and it away doth go;
also the place whereas it was
no longer shall it know.
(3)
17 But yet Gods mercy ever is,
shall be, and aye hath been
to them that fear him; and’s justice
unto children’s children.
18 To such as keep his covenant,
that do in mind up lay
the charge of his commandement
that it they may obey.
19 The Lord hath in the heavens high
established his throne:
and over all his Royalty
doth bear dominion.
20 O ye his Angels that excel
in strength, bless ye the Lord,
that do his word, that hearken well
unto the voice of’s word.
21 All ye that are the Lords armies,
o bless Jehovah still:
and all ye ministers of his,
his pleasure that fulfill.
22 Yea, all his works in places all
of his dominion,
bless ye the Jehovah: o my Soul,
Jehovah bless alone.
