Psalms

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