  [1] > Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name! [2] Praise Yahweh, my soul, And don't forget all his benefits; [3] Who forgives all your sins; Who heals all your diseases; [4] Who redeems your life from destruction; Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies; [5] Who satisfies your desire with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. [6] Yahweh executes righteous acts, And justice for all who are oppressed. [7] He made known his ways to Moses, His deeds to the children of Israel. [8] Yahweh is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness. [9] He will not always accuse; Neither will he stay angry forever. [10] He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor repaid us for our iniquities. [11] For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him. [12] As far as the east is from the west, So far has he removed our transgressions from us. [13] Like a father has compassion on his children, So Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him. [14] For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust. [15] As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. [16] For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more. [17] But Yahweh's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, His righteousness to children's children; [18] To those who keep his covenant, To those who remember to obey his precepts. [19] Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all. [20] Praise Yahweh, you angels of his, Who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, Obeying the voice of his word. [21] Praise Yahweh, all you hosts of his, You servants of his, who do his pleasure. [22] Praise Yahweh, all you works of his, In all places of his dominion. Praise Yahweh, my soul.
