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;

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.

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.
