By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts—His Holy Name. |
2
|
Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits, |
3
|
Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases, |
4
|
Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee—kindness and mercies, |
5
|
Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth. |
6
|
Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed. |
7
|
He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts. |
8
|
Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy. |
9
|
Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch. |
10
|
Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us. |
11
|
For, as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him. |
12
|
As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions. |
13
|
As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him. |
14
|
For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust. |
15
|
Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth; |
16
|
For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more. |
17
|
And the kindness of Jehovah [Is] from age even unto 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
|
Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled. |
20
|
Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power— doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word. |
21
|
Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers—doing His pleasure. |
22
|
Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah! |
