1 | Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name! |
2 | Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don't forget all his benefits; |
3 | who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases; |
4 | who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies; |
5 | who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. |
6 | Yahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed. |
7 | He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel. |
8 | Yahweh is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness. |
9 | He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever. |
10 | He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities. |
11 | For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him. |
12 | As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. |
13 | Like a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him. |
14 | For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust. |
15 | As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. |
16 | For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more. |
17 | But Yahweh's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children's children; |
18 | to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts. |
19 | Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all. |
20 | Praise Yahweh, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word. |
21 | Praise Yahweh, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure. |
22 | Praise Yahweh, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise Yahweh, my soul! 4 |
