| Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise 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, abounding in love. | 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 transgressions from us. | He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. |
| 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 from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children— with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts. | 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! |
