• 1. Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name.

• 2. Praise the Lord, O 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. As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes 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 doHis will.

• 22. Praise the Lord, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the Lord, O my soul.
