- Bless the Lord, O my soul;
my entire being, bless his holy name. - The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in kindness. - As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us. - As a father has compassion for his children,
so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him. - But from everlasting to everlasting
the kindness of the Lord is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children,
with those who keep his covenant
and diligently observe his commandments. - I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have life. - Give thanks to the Lord, invoke his name;
proclaim his deeds among the peoples. - Reflect on the Lord and his strength;
seek his face continually. - He has satisfied the thirsty
and filled the hungry with good things. - He sent forth his word and healed them,
saving them from the grave. - I will give thanks to you among the peoples, O Lord;
I will sing your praises among the nations. - Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
and let your glory shine over all the earth. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
those who are guided by it will grow in understanding.
His praise will last forever. - Alleluia.
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who greatly delights in his precepts. - The future bodes well for him
who is generous in helping those in need
and who conducts his affairs with justice. - He will never be swayed;
the righteous man will be remembered forever. - Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
but to your name give glory
because of your kindness and faithfulness. - Our God is in heaven;
he does whatever he pleases. - I love the Lord because he has heard my voice
and listened to my cry for mercy,
because he has inclined his ear to me
on the day when I called out to him. - In my distress I called out to the Lord;
he answered by setting me free. - With the Lord to protect me I am not afraid.
What can mortals do to me? - It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to place your trust in mortals. - This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us exult and rejoice in it. - O Lord, grant us salvation.
O Lord, grant us success.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
We bless you from the house of the Lord. - Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
who walk in accord with the law of the Lord.
Blessed are those who observe his statutes
and seek him with their whole heart.To anyone who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, as I myself overcame and sat with my Father on his throne. There is no salvation in anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to men by which we can be saved.Next verse!With image
