A Psalm of David.

1BlessH1288 Jehovah, O my soulH5315;And all that is within me, blessH1288his holyH6944 nameH8034.2BlessH1288 Jehovah, O my soulH5315,And forgetH7911 not all his benefits:3Who forgiveth all thine iniquitiesH5771;Who healeth all thy diseases;4Who redeemeth thy lifeH2416 from destruction;Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;5Who satisfieth thy desire with goodH2896 things,So that thy youthH5271 is renewedH2318 like the eagleH5404.6Jehovah executeth righteous actsH6213,And judgmentsH4941 for all that are oppressedH6231.7He madeH3045 knownH3045 his waysH1870 unto MosesH4872,His doings unto the children of IsraelH3478.8Jehovah is merciful and graciousH2587,Slow to angerH639, and abundant in lovingkindness.9He will not always chide;Neither will he keepH5201his angerfor everH5769.10He hath not dealtH1580 with us after our sinsH2399,Nor rewarded us after our iniquitiesH5771.11For as the heavensH8064 are highH1361 above the earthH776,So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fearH3373 him.12As farH7368 as the eastH4217 is from the westH4628,So farH7368 hath he removedH7368 our transgressionsH6588 from us.13Like as a fatherH1 pitieth his children,So Jehovah pitieth them that fearH3373 him.14For he knoweth our frame;He remembereth that we are dustH6083.15As for man, his daysH3117 are as grassH2682;As a flowerH6731 of the fieldH7704, so he flourisheth.16For the windH7307 passeth over it, and it is gone;And the placeH4725 thereof shall know it no more.17But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fearH3373 him,And his righteousnessH6666 unto children’s children;18To such as keepH8104 his covenantH1285,And to those that rememberH2142 his preceptsH6490 to do them.19Jehovah hath establishedH3559 his throneH3678 in the heavensH8064;And his kingdomH4438 ruleth over all.20BlessH1288 Jehovah, ye his angelsH4397,That are mightyH1368 in strengthH3581, that fulfil his wordH1697,Hearkening unto the voiceH6963 of his wordH1697.21BlessH1288 Jehovah, all ye his hostsH6635,Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasureH7522.22BlessH1288 Jehovah, all ye his worksH4639,In all placesH4725 of his dominionH4475:BlessH1288 Jehovah, O my soulH5315.
