- 1
- Blesse God O my soule: and all that is within me [prayse] his holy name.
- 2
- Blesse God O my soule: and forget not all his benefites.
- 3
- Who forgeueth all thy wickednesse: and healeth all thine infirmities.
- 4
- Who redeemeth thy lyfe from destruction: [and] crowneth thee with mercie and louyng kyndnesse.
- 5
- Who satisfieth thy mouth with good thynges: causyng thy youth lyke an Egles to be renued.
- 6
- God executeth iustice and iudgement: for all them that are oppressed with wrong.
- 7
- He made his wayes knowen vnto Moyses: his workes vnto the children of Israel.
- 8
- God is full of compassion and pitie: loth to be angry, and exceedyng great in mercie.
- 9
- He vseth not to continue in chydyng: neither reserueth he [his anger] for euer.
- 10
- He dealeth not with vs accordyng to our sinnes: nor rewardeth vs according to our wickednesse.
- 11
- For accordyng to the hyghnesse of heauen aboue the earth: his mercie preuayleth to them that feare hym.
- 12
- [Loke] howe farre distaunt the east is from the west: so farre a sunder setteth he our sinnes from vs.
- 13
- Yea lyke as a father pitieth [his owne] children: euen so is God mercifull vnto them that feare hym.
- 14
- For he knoweth wherof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust.
- 15
- The dayes of man are as [the dayes] of an hearbe: he florisheth as a flowre in the fielde.
- 16
- For the winde passeth ouer it, and it is no more [seene]: and the place therof knoweth it no more.
- 17
- But the mercifull goodnesse of God endureth for euer and euer, vpon them that feare hym: and his righteousnesse vpon childers children.
- 18
- Euen vpon such as kepe his couenaunt: and thinke vpon his commaundementes to do them.
- 19
- God hath prepared his seate in heauen: and his kyngdome ruleth ouer all.
- 20
- Blesse God O ye his angels mightie in operation: who fulfyll his worde in hearkening vnto the voyce of his word.
- 21
- Blesse God all ye his hoastes: you his ministers that do his pleasure.
- 22
- Blesse God all you his workes in all places of his dominion: O my soule blesse thou God.
