| 1 | <Of David.> Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let everything in me give praise to his holy name. |
| 2 | Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let not all his blessings go from your memory. |
| 3 | He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases; |
| 4 | He keeps back your life from destruction, crowning you with mercy and grace. |
| 5 | He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's. |
| 6 | The Lord gives decisions in righteousness for all who are in trouble. |
| 7 | He gave knowledge of his way to Moses, and made his acts clear to the children of Israel. |
| 8 | The Lord is kind and full of pity, not quickly made angry, but ever ready to have mercy. |
| 9 | His feeling will no longer be bitter; he will not keep his wrath for ever. |
| 10 | He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing. |
| 11 | For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers. |
| 12 | As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us. |
| 13 | As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers. |
| 14 | For he has knowledge of our feeble frame; he sees that we are only dust. |
| 15 | As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field. |
| 16 | The wind goes over it and it is gone; and its place sees it no longer. |
| 17 | But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness; |
| 18 | If they keep his agreement, and have his laws in mind to do them. |
| 19 | The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all. |
| 20 | Give praise to the Lord, you his angels, who are great in strength, doing his orders, and waiting for his voice. |
| 21 | Give praise to the Lord, all you his armies; and you his servants who do his pleasure. |
| 22 | Give praise to the Lord, all his works, in all places under his rule: give praise to the Lord, O my soul. |
