Praise the Lord, O my soul;

All my inmost being, praise his holy name

Praise the Lord, O my soul;

Forget not all his benefits

Who forgives all your sins

And heals all your diseases.

Who redeems your life from the pit

And crowns you with love and compassion,

Who satisfies your desires with good things

So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

The Lord works righteousness and justice

For all the oppressed.

He made his ways known to Moses,

His deeds to the people of Israel.

The Lord is compassionate and gracious

Slow to anger, abounding in love.

He will not always accuse,

Nor will he harbour his anger for ever,

He does not treat us as our sins deserve,

Or repay us according to our iniquity.

For as high as the heavens

Are above the earth,

So great is his love for those who fear Him.

As far as the east is from the west,

So far has he removed our transgressions from us.

As a father has compassion on his children,

So the Lord has compassion on those who fear him

For he knows how we are formed.

He remembers we are dust.

As for man, his days are like grass,

He flourishes like a flower of the field,

The wind blows over it and it is gone

And its place remembers it no more.

But from everlasting to everlasting

The Lord’s love is with those who fear him

And keep His covenant

His righteousness is with their children’s children

And with those who remember and obey all his precepts.

The Lord has established his throne in the heaven,

And his kingdom rules over all.

Praise the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones

Who do his bidding and obey his word

Praise the Lord all his heavenly host

And you his servants who do his will.

Praise the Lord all his works in every place

Praise the Lord O my soul.

Praise the Lord O my soul.
