- [A Psalme of Dauid.]
- 1
- Blesse the Lord, O my soule: and all that is within me, blesse his holy Name.
- 2
- Blesse the Lord, O my soule: & forget not all his benefits.
- 3
- Who forgiueth all thine iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.
- 4
- Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with louing kindnesse and tender mercies.
- 5
- Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things: so that thy youth is renewed like the Eagles.
- 6
- The Lord executeth righteousnesse: and iudgement for all that are oppressed.
- 7
- He made knowen his wayes vnto Moses: his actes vnto the children of Israel.
- 8
- The Lord is mercifull and gracious: slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
- 9
- Hee will not alwayes chide: neither will he keepe his anger for euer.
- 10
- Hee hath not dealt with vs after our sinnes: nor rewarded vs according to our iniquities.
- 11
- For as the heauen is high aboue the earth: so great is his mercy toward them that feare him.
- 12
- As farre as the East is from the West: so farre hath hee remooued our transgressions from vs.
- 13
- Like as a father pitieth his children: so the Lord pitieth them that feare him.
- 14
- For he knoweth our frame: hee remembreth that we are dust.
- 15
- As for man, his dayes are as grasse: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
- 16
- For the winde passeth ouer it, and it is gone;
and the place thereof shall know it no more.
- 17
- But the mercy of the Lord is from euerlasting to euerlasting vpon them that feare him: and his righteousnesse vnto childrens children:
- 18
- To such as keepe his couenant: and to those that remember his commandements to doe them.
- 19
- The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heauens: and his kingdome ruleth ouer all.
- 20
- Blesse the Lord yee his Angels, that excell in strength, that do his commandements: hearkening vnto the voice of his word.
- 21
- Blesse ye the Lord all yee his hostes: ye ministers of his that doe his pleasure.
- 22
- Blesse the Lord all his works in all places of his dominion: blesse the Lord, O my soule.
