Bless Jehovah, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from the pit, who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thine old age with good things; thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

⁶Jehovah executeth righteousness and justice for all that are oppressed. ⁷He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. ⁸Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness. ⁹He will not always chide, neither will he keep his anger for ever. ¹⁰He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. ¹¹For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving-kindness toward them that fear him. ¹²As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. ¹³As a father pitieth his children, so Jehovah pitieth them that fear him. ¹⁴For himself knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. ¹⁵As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth: ¹⁶For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof knoweth it no more. ¹⁷But the loving-kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting and to everlasting, upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children, ¹⁸To such as keep his covenant and to those that remember his precepts to do them.

¹⁹Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom ruleth over all. ²⁰Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word. ²¹Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his that do his will. ²²Bless Jehovah, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless Jehovah, O my soul!
