[[A Psalm Chapter of David.]]
[1] My soul, praise thou the Lord, and all that is within me, praise his holy name.
[2] My soul, praise thou the Lord, and forget not all his benefits.
[3] Which forgiveth all thine iniquity, and healeth all thine infirmities.
[4] Which redeemeth thy life from the grave, and crowneth thee with mercy and compassions.
[5] Which satisfieth thy mouth with good things: and thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
[6] The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment to all that are oppressed.
[7] He made his ways known unto Moses, and his works unto the children of Israel.
[8] The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, slow to anger and of great kindness.
[9] He will not alway chide, neither keep his anger forever.
[10] He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
[11] For as high as the heaven is 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 sins from us.
[13] As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him.
[14] For he knoweth whereof we be made: he remembereth that we are but dust.
[15] The days of man are as grass: as a flower of the field, so flourisheth he.
[16] For the wind goeth over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall know it no more.
[17] But the loving kindness of the Lord endureth forever and ever upon them that fear him, and his righteousness upon children's children,
[18] Unto them that keep his covenant, and think upon his commandments to do them.
[19] The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven, and his kingdom ruleth over all.
[20] Praise the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandment in obeying the voice of his word.
[21] Praise the Lord, all ye his hosts, ye his servants that do his pleasure.
[22] Praise the Lord, all ye his works, in all places of his dominion: my soul, praise thou the Lord.
