¹ Of David. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let everything in me give praise to his holy name. ² Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let not all his blessings go from your memory. ³ He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases; ⁴ He keeps back your life from destruction, crowning you with mercy and grace. ⁵ He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's. ⁶ The Lord gives decisions in righteousness for all who are in trouble. ⁷ He gave knowledge of his way to Moses, and made his acts clear to the children of Israel. ⁸ The Lord is kind and full of pity, not quickly made angry, but ever ready to have mercy. ⁹ His feeling will no longer be bitter; he will not keep his wrath for ever. ¹⁰ He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing. ¹¹ For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers. ¹² As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us. ¹³ As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers. ¹⁴ For he has knowledge of our feeble frame; he sees that we are only dust. ¹⁵ As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field. ¹⁶ The wind goes over it and it is gone; and its place sees it no longer. ¹⁷ But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness; ¹⁸ If they keep his agreement, and have his laws in mind to do them.
