Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!
|
| 2 |
Praise Yahweh, 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 |
Yahweh 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 |
Yahweh 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 Yahweh 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 Yahweh’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 |
Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
|
| 20 |
Praise Yahweh, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.
|
| 21 |
Praise Yahweh, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
|
| 22 |
Praise Yahweh, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise Yahweh, my soul!
