1Of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! (Ps 103:22; Ps 104:1)2Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, (De 6:12; De 8:11; Ps 103:1)3who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, (Ex 15:26; Ex 34:7; Ps 107:20; Ps 147:3; Isa 33:24; Mt 8:17; Mt 9:2; Mr 2:5; Lu 7:47)4who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, (Ps 5:12; Ps 56:13)5who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. (Ps 107:9; Isa 40:31)6The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed. (Ps 146:7)7He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel. (Ex 33:13; Ex 34:10; Ps 25:4; Ps 78:11)8The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. (Ps 86:15)9He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. (Ps 30:5; Isa 57:16; Jer 3:5; Jer 3:12; Mic 7:18)10He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. (Ezr 9:13)11For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; (Ps 36:5; Ps 103:13; Ps 103:17; Ps 117:2; Lu 1:50)12as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. (Isa 38:17; Isa 43:25; Mic 7:19)13As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. (Ps 103:11; Mal 3:17)14For he knows our frame;[1] he remembers that we are dust. (Ps 78:39)15As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; (Job 14:2; Ps 90:5)16for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more. (Job 7:10; Ps 37:36; Isa 40:7)17But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children, (Ex 20:5; Ps 25:6; Ps 103:11)18to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments. (De 7:9; Ps 19:8)19The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all. (Ps 11:4; Ps 47:2; Ps 93:2; Da 4:17)20Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word! (Ps 78:25; Ps 148:2; Mt 6:10; Lu 2:13)21Bless the Lord, all his hosts, his ministers, who do his will! (Ge 32:2; Jos 5:14; 1Ki 22:19; Ps 104:4; Da 7:10; Heb 1:14)22Bless the Lord, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul! (Ps 103:1; Ps 145:10)

New International Version
Of David.
1Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.2Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits –3who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,4who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,5who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.6The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.7He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:8the Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.9He will not always accuse, nor will he harbour his anger for ever;10he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.11For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;12as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.13As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;14for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.15The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field;16the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.17But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children –18with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.19The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.20Praise the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.21Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.22Praise the Lord, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the Lord, my soul.
