A Psalm of David.
11BlessH1288 the LordH3068, my soulH5315, And allH3605 that is withinH7130 me, bless His 2holyH6944 nameH8034.2BlessH1288 the LordH3068, my soulH5315, And 3do not forgetH7911 anyH3605 of His benefitsH1576;3Who 4pardonsH5545 allH3605 your guiltH5771, Who 5healsH7495 allH3605 your diseasesH8463;4Who 6redeemsH1350 your lifeH2425 from the pitH7845, Who 7crownsH5849 you with favorH2617 and compassionH7356;5Who 8satisfiesH7646 your 9yearsH5750 with goodH2896 thingsH2896, So that your youthH5271 is 10renewedH2318 like the eagleH5404.
6The LordH3068 11performsH6213 12righteousH6666 deedsH6666 And judgmentsH4941 for allH3605 who are 13oppressedH6231.7He 14madeH3045 knownH3045 His waysH1870 to MosesH4872, His 15deedsH5949 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.8The LordH3068 is 16compassionateH7349 and graciousH2587, 17SlowH750 to angerH639 and aboundingH7227 in mercyH2617.9He 18will not alwaysH5331 contendH7378 with us, NorH3808 will He 19keepH5201 His anger foreverH5769.10He has 20not dealtH6213 with us according to our sinsH2399, NorH3808 rewardedH1580 us according to our guiltyH5771 deedsH5771.11For as highH1361 21as the heavensH8064 are aboveH5921 the earthH776, So greatH1396 is His mercyH2617 towardH5921 those who 22fearH3372 Him.12As farH7368 as the eastH4217 is from the westH4628, So farH7368 has He 23removedH7368 our wrongdoingsH6588 from us.13Just 24as a fatherH1 hasH7355 compassionH7355 on his childrenH1121, So the LordH3068 hasH7355 compassionH7355 on those who 25fearH3372 Him.14For 26He HimselfH1931 knowsH3045 27our formH3336; He 28is mindfulH2142 that we are nothing but 29dustH6083.
15As for manH582, his daysH3117 are 30like grassH2682; Like a 31flowerH6731 of the fieldH7704, soH3651 he flourishesH6692.16WhenH3588 the 32windH7307 has passedH5674 overH5674 it, it is noH369 moreH369, And its 33placeH4725 noH3808 longerH5750 knowsH5234 aboutH5234 it.17But the 3435mercyH2617 of the LordH3068 is from everlastingH5769 to everlastingH5769 for those who 36fearH3372 Him, And His justiceH6666 37to the children’sH1121 childrenH1121,18To 38those who keepH8104 His covenantH1285 And rememberH2142 His preceptsH6490, so as to doH6213 them.
19The LordH3068 has establishedH3559 His 39throneH3678 in the heavensH8064, And His 4041sovereigntyH4438 rulesH4910 over 42allH3605.20BlessH1288 the LordH3068, you 43His angelsH4397, 44MightyH1368 in strengthH3581, who 45performH6213 His wordH1697, 46ObeyingH8085 the voiceH6963 of His wordH1697!21BlessH1288 the LordH3068, allH3605 you 47His 48angelsH6635, You 49who serveH8334 Him, doingH6213 His willH7522.22BlessH1288 the LordH3068, 50allH3605 you worksH4639 of His, In allH3605 placesH4725 of His dominionH4475; BlessH1288 the LordH3068, my soulH5315!
