[1] BY DAVID. Bless, O my soul, YHWH, || And all my inward parts—His Holy Name. [2] Bless, O my soul, YHWH, || And do not forget all His benefits, [3] Who is forgiving all your iniquities, || Who is healing all your diseases, [4] Who is redeeming your life from destruction, || Who is crowning you [with] kindness and mercies, [5] Who is satisfying your desire with good, || Your youth renews itself as an eagle. [6] YHWH is doing righteousness and judgments || For all the oppressed. [7] He makes His ways known to Moses, || His acts to the sons of Israel. [8] YHWH [is] merciful and gracious, || Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy. [9] He does not strive forever, || Nor does He watch for all time. [10] He has not done to us according to our sins, || Nor according to our iniquities || Has He conferred benefits on us. [11] For as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, || His kindness has been mighty over those fearing Him. [12] He has put our transgressions far from us—as the distance of east from west. [13] As a father has mercy on sons, || YHWH has mercy on those fearing Him. [14] For He has known our frame, || Remembering that we [are] dust. [15] Mortal man! His days [are] as grass, || He flourishes as a flower of the field; [16] For a wind has passed over it, and it is not, || And its place does not discern it anymore. [17] And the kindness of YHWH || [Is] from age even to age on those fearing Him, || And His righteousness to sons’ sons, [18] To those keeping His covenant, || And to those remembering His precepts to do them. [19] YHWH has established His throne in the heavens, || And His kingdom has ruled over all. [20] Bless YHWH, you His messengers, || Mighty in power—doing His word, || To listen to the voice of His word. [21] Bless YHWH, all you His hosts, || His ministers—doing His pleasure. [22] Bless YHWH, all you His works, || In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, YHWH!
