2 Bless the LORD, O
my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all
thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy
life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender
mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy
mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the
eagle's.
6 The LORD executeth
righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his
ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8 The LORD is merciful
and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9 He will not always
chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 He hath not dealt
with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven
is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them
that fear him.
12 As far as the east
is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions
from us.
13 Like as a father
pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth
them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth our
frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the mercy of
the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that
fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
18 To such as keep
his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19 The LORD hath
prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Bless the LORD, ye
his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto
the voice of his word.
21 Bless ye the LORD,
all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that
do his pleasure.
22 Bless the LORD,
all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
