Praise for the Lord’s Mercies

A Psalm of David.

1 Bless ^athe Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:

3 ^aWho forgives all your iniquities,
Who ^bheals all your diseases,

4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
^aWho crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that ^ayour youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6 The Lord executes righteousness
And justice for all who are oppressed.

7 ^aHe made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel.

8 ^aThe Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

9 ^aHe will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.

10 ^aHe has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy 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 pities his children,
So the Lord pities those who fear Him.

14 For He¹ knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust.

15 As for man, ^ahis days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

16 ^aFor the wind passes over it, and it is¹ gone,
And ^bits place remembers it no more.
