Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. The Lord executes righteousness And justice for all who are oppressed. He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. As a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust. As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, And its place remembers it no more. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting On those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children, To such as keep His covenant, And to those who remember His commandments to do them. The Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all. Bless the Lord, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word. Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, You ministers of His, who do His pleasure. Bless the Lord, all His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul!
Let us never forget all the benefits that God has given us in Jesus Christ. He has forgiven all of our iniquities because Jesus became sin on our behalf. God has healed all of our diseases and we are healed by Jesus’ stripes. By His brokenness we are made whole. By His taking all of our illnesses we are made whole.
God satisfies our mouths with good things so our youth is renewed like the eagle’s. He performs righteousness and justice for all of His children who are oppressed and mistreated. He will never let their oppression be ignored because He will bring them justice quickly.
He abounds in mercy and He will not strive with mankind forever; someday He will send Jesus to earth to close out the age once and for all. He is slow to anger which shows His great mercy toward us His children. He abounds in mercy and He satisfies the desires of His children. He has not dealt with us according to our sins because Jesus died for all of our sins for all time.
God has removed our sins forever in Jesus Christ and He has removed them as far as the east is from the west. Bless the Lord oh my soul and sing His praises for evermore.
