1 - ?Of David.?
Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 - Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits -
3 - who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
4 - who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 - who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 - The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
7 - He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:
8 - The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 - He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10 - he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 - For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 - as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 - As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 - for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
15 - The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field;
16 - the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
17 - But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children -
18 - with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.
19 - The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.
20 - Praise the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.
21 - Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.
22 - Praise the Lord, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the Lord, my soul.
