A PSALM OF PRAISE
(Psalm CII)
BLESS the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless His holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all He hath done for thee.
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities: Who healeth all thy diseases.
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: Who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.
Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: so that thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle’s.
The Lord doth righteous acts, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.
He hath made His ways known unto Moses: His acts unto the children of Israel.
The Lord is compassionate and merciful: long-suffering and plenteous in mercy.
He will not always be angry: nor will He threaten for ever.
He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
For as heaven is high above the earth: so mighty is His mercy towards them that fear Him.
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.
As a father hath compassion on his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him: for He knoweth our frame.
