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