1 P raise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!

2 P raise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits;

3 w ho forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases;

4 w ho redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;

5 w ho satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6 Y ahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.

7 H e made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel.

8 Y ahweh is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

9 H e will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.

10 H e has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.

11 F or as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.

12 A s far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

13 L ike a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him.

14 F or he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.

15 A s for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

16 F or the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.

17 B ut Yahweh’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children;

18 t o those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.

19 Y ahweh has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.

20 P raise Yahweh, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.

21 P raise Yahweh, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.

22 P raise Yahweh, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise Yahweh, my soul!
