1  A psalm of David. My soul, bless thou the Lord, and all things that be within me, bless his holy name.

2 My soul, bless thou the Lord; and do not thou forget all the yieldings of him.

3 Which doeth mercy to all thy wickednesses; which healeth all thy sicknesses.

4 Which again-buyeth thy life from death; which crowneth thee in mercy and merciful doings.

5 Which [ful] filleth thy desire in goods; thy youth shall be renewed as the youth of an eagle.

6 The Lord doing mercies; and doom, to all men suffering wrong.

7 He made his ways known to Moses; his wills or deeds to the sons of Israel.

8 The Lord is a merciful doer, and merciful in will; long abiding, and much merciful.

9 He shall not be wroth without end; and he shall not threaten without end.

10 He did not to us after our sins; neither he yielded to us after our wickednesses.

11 For by the highness of heaven from earth; he made strong his mercy on men dreading him.

12 As much as the east is from the west; he made [a] far our wicked-nesses from us.

13 As a father hath mercy on his sons, the Lord had mercy on men dreading him;

14 for he knew our making. He bethought that we be dust,

15 a man is as hay; his day[s] shall flower out so as a flower of the field.

16 For the spirit shall pass in him, and it shall not abide; and it shall no more know his place.

17 But the mercy of the Lord is from without beginning, and till into with-out end; on men dreading him. And his rightfulness [or rightwiseness]is into the sons of sons;

18 to them that keep his testament. And be mindful of his command-ments; to do those [or them].

19 The Lord hath made ready his seat in heaven; and his realm shall be lord of all.

20 Angels of the Lord, bless ye the Lord; ye mighty in virtue, doing his word, to hear the voice of his words.

21 All virtues or hosts of the Lord, bless ye the Lord; ye ministers of him, that do his will.

22 All works of the Lord, bless ye the Lord, in each place of his lord-ship; my soul, bless thou the Lord.
