2I say to myself, ‘Praise the Lord!’ Never forget all the good things that he has done for you! 3He forgives all my sins. He makes me well again when I am ill. He saves me from the deep hole of death's power. He always loves me and he is kind to me. That is how he blesses me so much! 5He gives me many good things for my life here. So I become strong again, with the strength of a young eagle. 6The Lord does what is right and fair. He helps poor people who suffer.
