[1] A Psalm of David. [2] Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within
me, bless his holy name! [3] Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all
his benefits, [4] who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your
diseases, [5] who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with
steadfast love and mercy, [6] who satisfies you with good as long as you
live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. [7] The LORD works
vindication and justice for all who are oppressed. [8] He made known his
ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel. [9] The LORD is merciful
and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. [10] He will
not always chide, nor will he keep his anger for ever. [11] He does not
deal with us according to our sins, nor requite us according to our
iniquities. [12] For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is
his steadfast love toward those who fear him; [13] as far as the east is
from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. [14] As a
father pities his children, so the LORD pities those who fear him. [15] For
he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. [16] As for man, his
days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; [17] for the
wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more. [18]
But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon
those who fear him, and his righteousness to children's children, [19] to
those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments. [20] The
LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over
all. [21] Bless the LORD, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his
word, hearkening to the voice of his word! [22] Bless the LORD, all his
hosts, his ministers that do his will! [ (Psalms 103:23) Bless the LORD,
all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul! ]
