Bless the Lord, my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name. | Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! |
The Lord is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in mercy. | 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 has He removed our wrongdoings from us. | As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. |
Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. | As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. |
But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting for those who fear Him, And His justice to the children’s children, To those who keep His covenant And remember His precepts, so as to do them. | 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. |
