A Psalm of David.
Bless and affectionately praise the LORD, O my soul,
And all that is [deep] within me, bless His holy name.
Who redeems your life from the pit,
Who crowns you [lavishly] with lovingkindness and tender mercy;
Who satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the [soaring] eagle.
He made known His ways [of righteousness and justice] to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel.
The LORD is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in compassion and lovingkindness.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins [as we deserve],
Nor rewarded us [with punishment] according to our wickedness.
For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence].
Just as a father loves his children,
So the LORD loves those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence].
But the lovingkindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who [reverently] fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,
To those who honor and keep His covenant,
And remember to do His commandments [imprinting His word on their hearts].
The LORD has established His throne in the heavens,
And His sovereignty rules over all [the universe].
Bless the LORD, you His angels,
You mighty ones who do His commandments,
Obeying the voice of His word!
Bless the LORD, all you works of His, in all places of His dominion;
Bless and affectionately praise the LORD, O my soul!
