## Bless Yahweh, O My Soul ###### 1 Bless Yahweh, O my soul, And all that is within me, _bless_ His holy name. ###### 2 Bless Yahweh, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits; ###### 3 Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases; ###### 4 Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; ###### 5 Who satisfies your years with good things, _So that_ your youth is renewed like the eagle. ###### 6 Yahweh performs righteous deeds And judgments for all who are oppressed. ###### 7 He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel. ###### 8 Yahweh is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness. ###### 9 He will not always contend _with us_, And He will not keep _His anger_ forever. ###### 10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, And He has not rewarded us according to our iniquities. ###### 11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. ###### 12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. ###### 13 As a father has compassion on _his_ children, So Yahweh has compassion on those who fear Him. ###### 14 For He Himself knows our form; He remembers that we are _but_ dust. ###### 15 As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flowers. ###### 16 When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its place acknowledges it no longer. ###### 17 But the lovingkindness of Yahweh is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children's children, ###### 18 To those who keep His covenant And remember His precepts to do them. ###### 19 Yahweh has established His throne in the heavens, And His kingdom rules over all. ###### 20 Bless Yahweh, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word, Obeying the voice of His word! ###### 21 Bless Yahweh, all _you_ His hosts, _You_ who serve Him, doing His will. ###### 22 Bless Yahweh, all you works of His, In all places of His rule; Bless Yahweh, O my soul!
