¹ (By David.) With all my heart I praise the LORD, and with all that I am I praise his holy name! ² With all my heart I praise the LORD! I will never forget how kind he has been. ³ The LORD forgives our sins, heals us when we are sick, ⁴ and protects us from death. His kindness and love are a crown on our heads. ⁵ Each day that we live, he provides for our needs and gives us the strength of a young eagle. ⁶ For all who are mistreated, the LORD brings justice. ⁷ He taught his Law to Moses and showed all Israel what he could do. ⁸ The LORD is merciful! He is kind and patient, and his love never fails. ⁹ The LORD won't always be angry and point out our sins; ¹⁰ he doesn't punish us as our sins deserve. ¹¹ How great is God's love for all who worship him? Greater than the distance between heaven and earth! ¹² How far has the LORD taken our sins from us? Farther than the distance from east to west! ¹³ Just as parents are kind to their children, the LORD is kind to all who worship him, ¹⁴ because he knows we are made of dust. ¹⁵ We humans are like grass or wild flowers that quickly bloom. ¹⁶ But a scorching wind blows, and they quickly wither to be forever forgotten. ¹⁷ The LORD is always kind to those who worship him, and he keeps his promises to their descendants ¹⁸ who faithfully obey him. ¹⁹ God has set up his kingdom in heaven, and he rules the whole creation. ²⁰ All of you mighty angels, who obey God's commands, come and praise your LORD! ²¹ All of you thousands who serve and obey God, come and praise your LORD! ²² All of God's creation and all that he rules, come and praise your LORD! With all my heart I praise the LORD!
