¹ I will praise the Lord. Deep down inside me, I will praise him. I will praise him, because his name is holy. ² I will praise the Lord. I won't forget anything he does for me. ³ He forgives all my sins. He heals all my sicknesses. ⁴ He saves my life from going down into the grave. His faithful and tender love makes me feel like a king. ⁵ He satisfies me with the good things I long for. Then I feel young and strong again, just like an eagle. ⁶ The Lord does what is right and fair for all who are beaten down. ⁷ He told Moses all about his plans. He let the people of Israel see his mighty acts. ⁸ The Lord is tender and kind. He is gracious. He is slow to get angry. He is full of love. ⁹ He won't keep bringing charges against us. He won't stay angry with us forever. ¹⁰ He doesn't punish us for our sins as much as we should be punished. He doesn't pay us back in keeping with the evil things we've done. ¹¹ His love for those who have respect for him is as high as the heavens are above the earth. ¹² He has removed our lawless acts from us as far as the east is from the west. ¹³ A father is tender and kind to his children. In the same way, the Lord is tender and kind to those who have respect for him. ¹⁴ He knows what we are made of. He remembers that we are dust. ¹⁵ People's lives are like grass. People grow like the flowers in the field. ¹⁶ When the wind blows on them, they are gone. No one can tell that they had ever been there. ¹⁷ But the Lord's love for those who have respect for him lasts for ever and ever. Their children's children will know that he always does what is right. ¹⁸ He always loves those who keep his covenant. He always does what is right for those who remember to obey his commands.
