- 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.
The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil.
Pride and arrogance and the way of evil
and perverted speech I hate. And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.Next verse!With image
