The Book of Psalms
Psalm 102
Benedic, anima.
Thanksgiving to God for his mercies.
 1 |
For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name. |
2 |
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee. |
3 |
Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases. |
4 |
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion. |
5 |
Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle's. |
6 |
The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong. |
7 |
He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel. |
8 |
The Lord is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy. |
9 |
He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever. |
10 |
He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. |
11 |
For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him. |
12 |
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our iniquities 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 our frame. He remembereth that we are dust: |
15 |
Man's days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish. |
16 |
For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no more. |
17 |
But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him: And his justice unto children's children, |
18 |
To such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them. |
19 |
The lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all. |
20 |
Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders. |
21 |
Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will. |
22 |
Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord. |
