Psalms 102
For David himself.
-
1 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.
