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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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