| 1 | To David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and bless his holy name, all that is within me. |
| 2 | Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his recompenses. |
| 3 | He forgives all your iniquities. He heals all your infirmities. |
| 4 | He redeems your life from destruction. He crowns you with mercy and compassion. |
| 5 | He satisfies your desire with good things. Your youth will be renewed like that of the eagle. |
| 6 | The Lord accomplishes mercies, and his judgment is for all who patiently endure injuries. |
| 7 | He has made his ways known to Moses, his will to the sons of Israel. |
| 8 | The Lord is compassionate and merciful, patient and full of mercy. |
| 9 | He will not be angry forever, and he will not threaten for eternity. |
| 10 | He has not dealt with us according to our sins, and he has not repaid us according to our iniquities. |
| 11 | For according to the height of the heavens above the earth, so has he reinforced his mercy toward those who fear him. |
| 12 | As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our iniquities from us. |
| 13 | As a father is compassionate to his sons, so has the Lord been compassionate to those who fear him. |
| 14 | For he knows our form. He has called to mind that we are dust. |
| 15 | Man: his days are like hay. Like the flower of the field, so will he flourish. |
| 16 | For the spirit in him will pass away, and it will not remain, and he will know his place no longer. |
| 17 | But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity, and even unto eternity, upon those who fear him. And his justice is with the sons of the sons, |
| 18 | with those who serve his covenant and have been mindful of his commandments by doing them. |
| 19 | The Lord has prepared his throne in heaven, and his kingdom will rule over all. |
| 20 | Bless the Lord, all you his Angels: powerful in virtue, doing his word, in order to heed the voice of his discourse. |
| 21 | Bless the Lord, all his hosts: his ministers who do his will. |
| 22 | Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul. |
