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 show’d those ways of his: his acts to Isr’el’s sons.
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 ev’n 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 father’s 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 Man’s days are like the grass: like flow’rs in field, so flourish’th 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.
17 But yet God’s 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 Lord’s 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 Jehovah: O my soul, Jehovah bless alone.
