- Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name! - The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. - As far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us. - As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. - But the steadfast love of the Lord is
from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children's children,
to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness! For I, the Lord your God,
hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Fear not,
I am the one who helps you.”Next verse!With image
