Bless the LORD, O My Soul

1(102:1) A Psalm of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2(102:2) Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his praises:

3(102:3) who forgives all thy transgressions, who heals all thy diseases;

4(102:4) who redeems thy life from corruption; who crowns thee with mercy and compassion;

5(102:5) who satisfies thy desire with good things: so that thy youth shall be renewed like that of the eagle.

6(102:6) The Lord executes mercy and judgment for all that are injured.

7(102:7) He made known his ways to Moses, his will to the children of Israel.

8(102:8) The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, long-suffering, and full of mercy.

9(102:9) He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever.

10(102:10) He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed us according to our iniquities.

11(102:11) For as the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord has so increased his mercy toward them that fear him.

12(102:12) As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

13(102:13) As a father pities his children, the Lord pities them that fear him.

14(102:14) For he knows our frame: remember that we are dust.

15(102:15) As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so shall he flourish.

16(102:16) For the wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know its place no more.

17(102:17) But the mercy of the Lord is from generation to generation upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children's children;

18(102:18) to them that keep his covenant, and remember his commandments to do them.

19(102:19) The Lord has prepared his throne in the heaven; and his kingdom rules over all.

20(102:20) Bless the Lord, all ye his angels, mighty in strength, who perform his bidding, ready to hearken to the voice of his words.

21(102:21) Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his that do his will.

22(102:22) Bless the Lord, all his works, in every place of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.
