¹A psalm of David.
Praise the LORD, my soul.
All that is inside me, praise his holy name. ²Praise the LORD, my soul.
Don't forget all the kind things he does. ³He forgives all your sins.
He heals all your sicknesses. ⁴He redeems your life from the Pit.
He crowns you with faithful love and kindness. ⁵He fills your life with good things.
So you are made young again like the eagle. ⁶The LORD does what is right and fair
for all who are treated badly. ⁷He made his ways known to Moses.
He showed his mighty acts to the people of Israel. ⁸The LORD is kind and full of grace.
He is slow to get angry.
He is full of faithful love. ⁹He will not always blame us.
He will not stay angry forever. ¹⁰He has not treated us as our sins deserve.
He has not paid us back for our wrongs. ¹¹The heavens are high above the earth.
That is how great his faithful love is
for those who fear him. ¹²The east is far from the west.
That is how far he has taken our sins away from us. ¹³A father is kind and tender to his children.
In the same way, the LORD is kind to those who fear him. ¹⁴For he knows how we are made.
He remembers that we are dust. ¹⁵A man's days are like grass.
He blooms like a flower in the field. ¹⁶When the wind blows over it, it is gone.
Its place doesn't remember it anymore. ¹⁷But the LORD's faithful love lasts forever and ever
for those who fear him.
His righteousness goes on to their grandchildren, ¹⁸to those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his commands. ¹⁹The LORD has set up his throne in heaven.
His kingdom rules over everything. ²⁰Praise the LORD, all his angels.
You are mighty and strong.
You carry out his word.
You listen to the voice of his command. ²¹Praise the LORD, all his armies of heaven,
you servants who do what he wants. ²²Praise the LORD, all his works,
in every place where he rules.
Praise the LORD, my soul!
