- 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.
And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.Next verse!With image
