1 BLESS the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is 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.
13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;
18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22 Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.

1A Psalme of Dauid. Blesse the Lord, O my soule: and all that is within me, blesse his holy Name.

2Blesse the Lord, O my soule: & forget not all his benefits.

3Who forgiueth all thine iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.

4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with louing kindnesse and tender mercies.

5Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things: so that thy youth is renewed like the Eagles.

6The Lord executeth righteousnesse: and iudgement for all that are oppressed.

7He made knowen his wayes vnto Moses: his actes vnto the children of Israel.

8The Lord is mercifull and gracious: slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

9Hee will not alwayes chide: neither will he keepe his anger for euer.

10Hee hath not dealt with vs after our sinnes: nor rewarded vs according to our iniquities.

11For as the heauen is high aboue the earth: so great is his mercy toward them that feare him.

12As farre as the East is from the West: so farre hath hee remooued our transgressions from vs.

13Like as a father pitieth his children: so the Lord pitieth them that feare him.

14For he knoweth our frame: hee remembreth that we are dust.

15As for man, his dayes are as grasse: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

16For the winde passeth ouer it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

17But the mercy of the Lord is from euerlasting to euerlasting vpon them that feare him: and his righteousnesse vnto childrens children:

18To such as keepe his couenant: and to those that remember his commandements to doe them.

19The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heauens: and his kingdome ruleth ouer all.

20Blesse the Lord yee his Angels, that excell in strength, that do his commandements: hearkening vnto the voice of his word.

21Blesse ye the Lord all yee his hostes: ye ministers of his that doe his pleasure.

22Blesse the Lord all his works in all places of his dominion: blesse the Lord, O my soule.

1 Of David. Bless the LORD, my soul; all my being, bless his holy name!

2 Bless the LORD, my soul; and do not forget all his gifts, 3Who pardons all your sins, and heals all your ills,

4 Who redeems your life from the pit, and crowns you with mercy and compassion,

5 Who fills your days with good things, so your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6 The LORD does righteous deeds, brings justice to all the oppressed.

7 He made known his ways to Moses, to the Israelites his deeds.

8 Merciful and gracious is the LORD, slow to anger, abounding in mercy.

9 He will not always accuse, and nurses no lasting anger;

10 He has not dealt with us as our sins merit, nor requited us as our wrongs deserve.

11 For as the heavens tower over the earth, so his mercy towers over those who fear him.

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

13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.

14 For he knows how we are formed, remembers that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are like the grass; he blossoms like a flower in the field.

16 A wind sweeps over it and it is gone; its place knows it no more.

17 But the LORD’s mercy is from age to age,toward those who fear him. His salvation is for the children’s children

18 of those who keep his covenant, and remember to carry out his precepts.

19 The LORD has set his throne in heaven; his dominion extends over all.

20 Bless the LORD, all you his angels, mighty in strength, acting at his behest, obedient to his command.

21 Bless the LORD, all you his hosts, his ministers who carry out his will.

22 Bless the LORD, all his creatures, everywhere in his domain. Bless the LORD, my soul!

V 1-5. All the verses in this Psalm of David are special, but some are super special, like verses 1-3. He is praising God for His bendefist and abundant mercies.

 

 

V 6-19 He speaks of God’s compassions and everlasting mercies, not rewarding us after our sins, v 10, 11, and removing our sins in an infinity away, v 12.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

V 20-22  He calls on all angels, and all creation to bless the Lord and ends the Psalm as he began, “Bless the Lord, O my soul”.
