| 1 | Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name! |
| 2 | Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, |
| 3 | who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, |
| 4 | who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, |
| 5 | who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. |
| 6 | The LORD works vindication and justice for all who are oppressed. |
| 7 | He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel. |
| 8 | The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. |
| 9 | He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger for ever. |
| 10 | He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor requite us according to our iniquities. |
| 11 | For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; |
| 12 | as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. |
| 13 | As a father pities his children, so the LORD pities those who fear him. |
| 14 | For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. |
| 15 | As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; |
| 16 | for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more. |
| 17 | But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear him, and his righteousness to children's children, |
| 18 | to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments. |
| 19 | The LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all. |
| 20 | Bless the LORD, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word! |
| 21 | Bless the LORD, all his hosts, his ministers that do his will! |
| 22 | Bless the LORD, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul! |
| 1 | Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy steadfast love; according to thy abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. |
| 2 | Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! |
| 3 | For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. |
| 4 | Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in thy sight, so that thou art justified in thy sentence and blameless in thy judgment. |
| 5 | Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. |
| 6 | Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart. |
| 7 | Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. |
| 8 | Fill me with joy and gladness; let the bones which thou hast broken rejoice. |
| 9 | Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. |
| 10 | Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me. |
| 11 | Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy Spirit from me. |
| 12 | Restore to me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. |
| 13 | Then I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners will return to thee. |
| 14 | Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of thy deliverance. |
| 15 | O Lord, open thou my lips, and my mouth shall show forth thy praise. |
| 16 | For thou hast no delight in sacrifice; were I to give a burnt offering, thou wouldst not be pleased. |
| 17 | The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. |
| 18 | Do good to Zion in thy good pleasure; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, |
| 19 | then wilt thou delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on thy altar. |
| 1 | Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. |
| 2 | Blessed is the man to whom the LORD imputes no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. |
| 3 | When I declared not my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long. |
| 4 | For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. [Selah] |
| 5 | I acknowledged my sin to thee, and I did not hide my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD"; then thou didst forgive the guilt of my sin. [Selah] |
| 6 | Therefore let every one who is godly offer prayer to thee; at a time of distress, in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him. |
| 7 | Thou art a hiding place for me, thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me with deliverance. [Selah] |
| 8 | I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. |
| 9 | Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, else it will not keep with you. |
| 10 | Many are the pangs of the wicked; but steadfast love surrounds him who trusts in the LORD. |
| 11 | Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart! |
