Praise the Lord, my soul

1
I tell myself that I should praise Yahweh. I will praise him because he is holy.
2
I tell myself that I should praise Yahweh and never forget all the kind things he has done for me.
3
He forgives all my sins, and he heals me from all my diseases;
4
he keeps me from dying, and he blesses me by faithfully loving me and acting mercifully to me as he promised to do.
5
He gives me good things during my entire life. He makes me feel young and strong like eagles.
6
Yahweh judges justly all those who have been treated unfairly.
7
Long ago he revealed to Moses what he planned to do; he showed to the ancestors of us Israelites the mighty things that he was able to do.
8
Yahweh acts mercifully and kindly; he does not quickly get angry when we sin; he is always showing us that he faithfully loves us.
9
He will not keep rebuking us, and he will not remain angry forever.
10
He has not punished us for our sins as we deserved.
11
The skies are very high above the earth, and Yahweh’s faithful love for all those who revere him is just as great.
12
He has taken away the guilt for our sins and put it as far from us as the east is from the west.
13
Just as parents act mercifully toward their children, Yahweh is kind to those who revere him.
14
He knows what our bodies are like; he remembers that he created us from dust and that we therefore quickly fail to do what pleases him.
15
We humans do not live forever; we are like grass which withers and dies. We are like wild flowers that bloom for a short while;
16
but then the hot wind blows over them, and they disappear; no one sees them again.
17
But Yahweh will faithfully keep loving forever all those who revere him, as he promised. He will act fairly to our children and to their children;
18
he will act that way to all those who obey the covenant he made with them to bless them if they did what he told them to do, to all those who obey what he has commanded.
19
Yahweh has taken his seat in the heavens where he rules as king; from there he rules over everything.
20
You angels who belong to Yahweh, praise him! You are powerful creatures who do what he tells you to do; you obey what he commands.
21
Praise Yahweh, you armies of angels who serve him and do what he desires.
22
All you things that Yahweh has created, praise him; praise him in every place where he rules, everywhere! I also will praise Yahweh!

Praise the Lord, my soul

1
Praise the LORD, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!
2
Praise the LORD, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits,
3
who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,
4
who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,
5
who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6
The LORD executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.
7
He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel.
8
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
9
He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
10
He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.
11
For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
12
As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13
Like a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
14
For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
15
As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16
For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.
17
But the LORD’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children,
18
to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.
19
The LORD has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
20
Praise the LORD, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.
21
Praise the LORD, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
22
Praise the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul!
