2 Bless Yahweh, O my soul,
And aforget none of His benefits;
3 Who apardons all your iniquities,
Who bheals all your diseases;
4 Who aredeems your life from the pit,
Who bcrowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;
5 Who asatisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is brenewed like the eagle.
6 Yahweh aperforms righteous deeds
And judgments for all who are boppressed.
7 He amade known His ways to Moses,
His bacts to the sons of Israel.
8 Yahweh is acompassionate and gracious,
bSlow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.
9 He awill not always contend with us,
And He will not bkeep His anger forever.
10 He has anot dealt with us according to our sins,
And He has not rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high aas the heavens are above the earth,
So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He aremoved our transgressions from us.
13 aAs a father has compassion on his children,
So Yahweh has compassion on those who fear Him.
14 For aHe Himself knows our form;
He bremembers that we are but cdust.
15 As for man, his days are alike grass;
As a bflower of the field, so he flowers.
16 When the awind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its bplace acknowledges it no longer.
17 But the alovingkindness of Yahweh is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him,
And His righteousness bto children’s children,
18 To athose who keep His covenant
And remember His precepts to do them.
19 Yahweh has established His athrone in the heavens,
And His bkingdom rules over all.
20 Bless Yahweh, you aHis angels,
bMighty in strength, who cperform His word,
dObeying the voice of His word!
21 Bless Yahweh, all you aHis hosts,
You bwho serve Him, doing His will.

In all places of His rule;
