Bless the Lord, my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name. | Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. |
The Lord is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in mercy. | The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. |
|
As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our wrongdoings from us. | He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. |
Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. | The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate 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 love of the Lord remains forever with those who fear him. His salvation extends to the children’s children of those who are faithful to his covenant, of those who obey his commandments! |
