1By David. Praise Yahweh, my soul! Everything within me praises his holy name!
2Praise Yahweh, my soul, and do not forget all the good things he does for me.
3He forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.
4He saves your life from destruction and crowns you with his unfailing love and tender mercies.
5He satisfies your desires with good things, so your youth is renewed like an eagle's.
6Yahweh does what is right and brings justice to all who are oppressed.
7He showed his ways to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel.
8Yahweh is kind and gracious, slow to get angry, and overflowing with unfailing love.
9He will not always accuse us, nor will he stay angry forever.
10He has not punished us as our sins deserve, nor paid us back for our wrongs.
11For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his unfailing love for those who respect him.
12As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our sins from us.
13Just as a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who respect him.
14For he knows how we are made; he remembers that we are dust.
15As for people, their days are like grass; they blossom like a flower in the field.
16When the wind blows over it, it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
17But Yahweh's unfailing love lasts forever and ever for those who respect him, and his righteousness extends to their children's children,
18to those who keep his agreement and remember to obey his commands.
19Yahweh has set up his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over everything.
20Praise Yahweh, all his angels, you mighty ones who carry out his word, obeying the sound of his command.
21Praise Yahweh, all his heavenly armies, you servants of his who do his will.
22Praise Yahweh, all his works, everywhere he rules. Praise Yahweh, my soul!
