Praise for the LORD‘s Benefits |
|
| 1 |
Bless the LORD, O my soul:
| | |
and all that is within me, bless his holy name. |
|
|
| 2 |
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
| | |
and forget not all his benefits: |
|
|
| 3 |
who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
| | |
who healeth all thy diseases; |
|
|
| 4 |
who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
| | |
who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies; |
|
|
| 5 |
who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;
| | |
so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. |
|
|
| 6 |
The LORD executeth righteousness
| | |
and judgment for all that are oppressed. |
|
|
| 7 |
He made known his ways unto Moses,
| | |
his acts unto the children of Israel. |
|
|
| 8 |
The LORD is merciful and gracious, Jas. 5.11
| | |
slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. |
|
|
| 9 |
He will not always chide:
| | |
neither will he keep his anger for ever. |
|
|
| 10 |
He hath not dealt with us after our sins;
| | |
nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. |
|
|
| 11 |
For as the heaven is high above the earth,
| | |
so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. |
|
|
| 12 |
As far as the east is from the west,
| | |
so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. |
|
|
| 13 |
Like as a father pitieth his children,
| | |
so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. |
|
|
| 14 |
For he knoweth our frame;
| | |
he remembereth that we are dust. |
|
|
| 15 |
As for man, his days are as grass:
| | |
as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. |
|
|
| 16 |
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;
| | |
and the place thereof shall know it no more. |
|
|
| 17 |
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting
| | |
upon them that fear him, |
|
and his righteousness unto children’s children; |
|
|
| 18 |
to such as keep his covenant,
| | |
and to those that remember his commandments to do them. |
|
|
| 19 |
The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens;
| | |
and his kingdom ruleth over all. |
|
|
| 20 |
Bless the LORD, ye his angels,
| | |
that excel in strength, |
|
that do his commandments, |
|
hearkening unto the voice of his word. |
|
|
| 21 |
Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts;
| | |
ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. |
|
|
| 22 |
Bless the LORD, all his works
| | |
in all places of his dominion: |
|
bless the LORD, O my soul. |
|
