Praise the Lord, my soul

1
BY DAVID. Bless, O my soul, YHWH, || And all my inward parts—His Holy Name.
2
Bless, O my soul, YHWH, || And do not forget all His benefits,
3
Who is forgiving all your iniquities, || Who is healing all your diseases,
4
Who is redeeming your life from destruction, || Who is crowning you [with] kindness and mercies,
5
Who is satisfying your desire with good, || Your youth renews itself as an eagle.
6
YHWH is doing righteousness and judgments || For all the oppressed.
7
He makes His ways known to Moses, || His acts to the sons of Israel.
8
YHWH [is] merciful and gracious, || Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9
He does not strive forever, || Nor does He watch for all time.
10
He has not done to us according to our sins, || Nor according to our iniquities || Has He conferred benefits on us.
11
For as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, || His kindness has been mighty over those fearing Him.
12
He has put our transgressions far from us—as the distance of east from west.
13
As a father has mercy on sons, || YHWH has mercy on those fearing Him.
14
For He has known our frame, || Remembering that we [are] dust.
15
Mortal man! His days [are] as grass, || He flourishes as a flower of the field;
16
For a wind has passed over it, and it is not, || And its place does not discern it anymore.
17
And the kindness of YHWH || [Is] from age even to age on those fearing Him, || And His righteousness to sons’ sons,
18
To those keeping His covenant, || And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
19
YHWH has established His throne in the heavens, || And His kingdom has ruled over all.
20
Bless YHWH, you His messengers, || Mighty in power—doing His word, || To listen to the voice of His word.
21
Bless YHWH, all you His hosts, || His ministers—doing His pleasure.
22
Bless YHWH, all you His works, || In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, YHWH!

Praise the Lord, my soul

1
Praise the LORD, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!
2
Praise the LORD, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits,
3
who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,
4
who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,
5
who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6
The LORD executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.
7
He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel.
8
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
9
He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
10
He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.
11
For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
12
As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13
Like a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
14
For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
15
As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16
For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.
17
But the LORD’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children,
18
to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.
19
The LORD has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
20
Praise the LORD, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.
21
Praise the LORD, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
22
Praise the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul!
