1By David <01732>. Praise <01288> the Lord <03068>, O my soul <05315>! With all <03605> that is within <07130> me, praise his holy <06944> name <08034>!
2Praise <01288> the Lord <03068>, O my soul <05315>! Do not <0408> forget <07911> all <03605> his kind deeds <01576>!
3He is the one who forgives <05545> all <03605> your sins <05771>, who heals <07495> all <03605> your diseases <08463>,
4who delivers <01350> your life <02416> from the Pit <07845>, who crowns <05849> you with his loyal love <02617> and compassion <07356>,
5who satisfies <07646> your life with good <02896> things <05716>, so your youth <05271> is renewed <02318> like an eagle’s <05404>.
6The Lord <03068> does <06213> what is fair <06666>, and executes justice <04941> for all <03605> the oppressed <06231>.
7The Lord revealed <03045> his faithful acts <01870> to Moses <04872>, his deeds <05949> to the Israelites <03478> <01121>.
8The Lord <03068> is compassionate <07349> and merciful <02587>; he is patient <0639> <0750> and demonstrates great <07227> loyal love <02617>.
9He does not <03808> always <05331> accuse <07378>, and does not <03808> stay angry <05201> <05769>.
10He does not <03808> deal with us as our sins <02399> deserve; he does <06213> not <03808> repay <01580> us as our misdeeds <05771> deserve.
11For <03588> as the skies <08064> are high <01361> above <05921> the earth <0776>, so his loyal love <02617> towers <01396> over <05921> his faithful followers <03373>.
12As far <07368> as the eastern <04217> horizon is from the west <04628>, so he removes <07368> the guilt of <06588> our rebellious actions <06588> from <04480> us.
13As a father <01> has compassion <07355> on <05921> his children <01121>, so the Lord <03068> has compassion <07355> on <05921> his faithful followers <03373>.
14For <03588> he <01931> knows <03045> what we are made of <03336>; he realizes <02142> we <0587> are made of clay <06083>.
15A person’s <0376> life <03117> is like grass <02682>. Like a flower <06731> in the field <07704> it flourishes <06692>,
16but when <03588> the hot wind <07307> blows <05674> by, it disappears <0369>, and one can no <03808> longer <05750> even spot <05234> the place <04725> where it once grew.
17But the Lord <03068> continually <05769> <05704> <05769> shows loyal love <02617> to <05921> his faithful followers <03373>, and is faithful <06666> to their descendants <01121> <01121>,
18to those who keep <08104> his covenant <01285>, who are careful <02142> to obey <06213> his commands <06490>.
19The Lord <03068> has established <03559> his throne <03678> in heaven <08064>; his kingdom <04438> extends <04910> over everything <03605>.
20Praise <01288> the Lord <03068>, you angels <04397> of his, you powerful <03581> warriors <01368> who carry out <06213> his decrees <01697> and obey <06963> <08085> his orders <01697>!
21Praise <01288> the Lord <03068>, all <03605> you warriors <06635> of his, you servants <08334> of his who carry out <06213> his desires <07522>!
22Praise <01288> the Lord <03068>, all <03605> that he has made <04639>, in all <03605> the regions <04725> of his kingdom <04475>! Praise <01288> the Lord <03068>, O my soul <05315>!
