1 [A Psalm] of David. Bless Jehovah, O my soul; and all that is within me, [bless] his holy name!

[A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all [that is] within me, [bless] his holy name.

2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his praises:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases;

who forgives all thy transgressions, who heals all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from the pit, who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;

who redeems thy life from corruption; who crowns thee with mercy and compassion;

5 Who satisfieth thine old age with good [things]; thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

who satisfies thy desire with good things: [so that] thy youth shall be renewed like [that] of the eagle.

6 Jehovah executeth righteousness and justice for all that are oppressed.

The Lord executes mercy and judgment for all that are injured.

7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

He made known his ways to Moses, his will to the children of Israel.

8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness.

The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, long-suffering, and full of mercy.

9 He will not always chide, neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.

He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever.

10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving-kindness toward them that fear him.

For as the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord has [so] increased his mercy toward them that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

As far as the east is from the west, [so far] has he removed our transgressions from us.

13 As a father pitieth [his] children, so Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

As a father pities [his] children, the Lord pities them that fear him.

14 For himself knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

For he knows our frame: remember that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth:

[As for] man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so shall he flourish.

16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof knoweth it no more.

For the wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know its place no more.

17 But the loving-kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting and to everlasting, upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,

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

18 To such as keep his covenant and to those that remember his precepts to do them.

to them that keep his covenant, and remember his commandments to do them.

19 Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom ruleth over all.

20 Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Bless the Lord, all ye his angels, mighty in strength, who perform his bidding, [ready] to hearken to the voice of his words.

21 Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his that do his will.

Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts; [ye] ministers of his that do his will.

22 Bless Jehovah, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless Jehovah, O my soul!

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