[1] Blesse God O my soule: and all that is within me [prayse] his holy name
[2] Blesse God O my soule: and forget not all his benefites
[3] Who forgeueth all thy wickednesse: and healeth all thine infirmities
[4] Who redeemeth thy lyfe from destruction: [and] crowneth thee with mercie and louyng kyndnesse
[5] Who satisfieth thy mouth with good thynges: causyng thy youth lyke an Egles to be renued
[6] God executeth iustice and iudgement: for all them that are oppressed with wrong
[7] He made his wayes knowen vnto Moyses: his workes vnto the children of Israel
[8] God is full of compassion and pitie: loth to be angry, and exceedyng great in mercie
[9] He vseth not to continue in chydyng: neither reserueth he [his anger] for euer
[10] He dealeth not with vs accordyng to our sinnes: nor rewardeth vs according to our wickednesse
[11] For accordyng to the hyghnesse of heauen aboue the earth: his mercie preuayleth to them that feare hym
[12] [Loke] howe farre distaunt the east is from the west: so farre a sunder setteth he our sinnes from vs
[13] Yea lyke as a father pitieth [his owne] children: euen so is God mercifull vnto them that feare hym
[14] For he knoweth wherof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust
[15] The dayes of man are as [the dayes] of an hearbe: he florisheth as a flowre in the fielde
[16] For the winde passeth ouer it, and it is no more [seene]: and the place therof knoweth it no more
[17] But the mercifull goodnesse of God endureth for euer and euer, vpon them that feare hym: and his righteousnesse vpon childers children
[18] Euen vpon such as kepe his couenaunt: and thinke vpon his commaundementes to do them
[19] God hath prepared his seate in heauen: and his kyngdome ruleth ouer all
[20] Blesse God O ye his angels mightie in operation: who fulfyll his worde in hearkening vnto the voyce of his word
[21] Blesse God all ye his hoastes: you his ministers that do his pleasure
[22] Blesse God all you his workes in all places of his dominion: O my soule blesse thou God
