1 Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his praises. 3 who forgives all thy transgressions, who heals all thy diseases; 4 who redeems thy life from corruption; who crowns thee with mercy and compassion; 5 who satisfies thy desire with good things: so that thy youth shall be renewed like that of the eagle.
6 the Lord executes mercy and judgement for all that are injured. 7 He made known his ways to Moses, his will to the children of Israel. 8 The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, long-suffering, and full of mercy. 9 He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever. 10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed us according to our iniquities. 11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord has so increased his mercy toward them that 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 pities his children, the Lord pities them that fear him. 14 For he knows our frame: remember that we are dust.
