1 Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy
name.
2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his
benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the
pit
and crowns you with love and
compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good
things
so that your youth is renewed like the
eagle’s.
6 The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all the
oppressed.
7 He made
known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of
Israel:
8 The Lord is compassionate and
gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger
forever;
10 he does not treat us as our sins
deserve
or repay us according to our
iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the
earth,
so great is his love for those who fear
him;
12 as far as the east is from the
west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from
us.
13 As a father
has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear
him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
15 The life of mortals is like
grass,
they flourish like a flower of the
field;
16 the wind blows over it and it is
gone,
and its place remembers it no
more.
17 But from everlasting to
everlasting
the Lord’s
love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s
children—
18 with those who keep his
covenant
and remember to obey his
precepts.
19 The Lord has established his throne in
heaven,
and his kingdom rules over
all.
20 Praise
the Lord, you his
angels,
you mighty ones who do his
bidding,
who obey his word.
21 Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,
you his servants who do his
will.
22 Praise the Lord, all his works
everywhere in his dominion.
Praise the Lord, my soul.
