Psalms 102

¹To David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and bless his holy name, all that is within me

²Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his recompenses

³He forgives all your iniquities. He heals all your infirmities

⁴He redeems your life from destruction. He crowns you with mercy and compassion

⁵He satisfies your desire with good things. Your youth will be renewed like that of the eagle

⁶The Lord accomplishes mercies, and his judgment is for all who patiently endure injuries

⁷He has made his ways known to Moses, his will to the sons of Israel

⁸The Lord is compassionate and merciful, patient and full of mercy

⁹He will not be angry forever, and he will not threaten for eternity

¹⁰He has not dealt with us according to our sins, and he has not repaid us according to our iniquities

¹¹For according to the height of the heavens above the earth, so has he reinforced his mercy toward those who fear him

¹²As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our iniquities from us

¹³As a father is compassionate to his sons, so has the Lord been compassionate to those who fear him

¹⁴For he knows our form. He has called to mind that we are dust

¹⁵Man: his days are like hay. Like the flower of the field, so will he flourish

¹⁶For the spirit in him will pass away, and it will not remain, and he will know his place no longer

¹⁷But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity, and even unto eternity, upon those who fear him. And his justice is with the sons of the sons

¹⁸with those who serve his covenant and have been mindful of his commandments by doing them

¹⁹The Lord has prepared his throne in heaven, and his kingdom will rule over all

²⁰Bless the Lord, all you his Angels: powerful in virtue, doing his word, in order to heed the voice of his discourse

²¹Bless the Lord, all his hosts: his ministers who do his will

²²Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul
