1 | 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! |
