2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.

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

3 Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.

7 He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.

8 The ford is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.

The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, longsuffering, and full of mercy.

9 He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever.

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

11 For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.

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

13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him:

14 For he knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust:

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

15 Man’s days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.

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

16 For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no more.

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

17 But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him: And his justice 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 are mindful of his commandments to do them.

19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.

21 Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.

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