The Scriptures (ISR 1998) 1Bless יהוה, O my being, And all that is within me, Bless His set-apart Name! 2Bless יהוה, O my being, And do not forget all His dealings, 3Who forgives all your crookednesses, Who heals all your diseases, 4Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with kindness and compassion, 5Who satisfies your desire with the good, Your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. 6יהוה is doing righteousness And right-ruling for all the oppressed. 7He made known His ways to Mosheh, His acts to the children of Yisra’ĕl. 8יהוה is compassionate and showing favour, Patient, and great in kindness. 9He does not always strive, nor maintain it forever. 10He has not done to us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our crookednesses. 11For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His kindness toward those who fear Him; 12As far as east is from west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. 13As a father has compassion for his children, So יהוה has compassion for those who fear Him. 14For He knows how we are made; He remembers that we are dust. 15As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. 16For the wind blows over it, and it is no more, And its place no longer remembers it. 17But the kindness of יהוה Is from everlasting to everlasting Upon those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children, 18To those who guard His covenant, And to those who remember His orders to do them. 19יהוה has established His throne in the heavens, And His reign shall rule over all. 20Bless יהוה, you His messengers, Mighty in power, who do His Word, Listening to the voice of His Word. 21Bless יהוה, all you His hosts, You His servants, who do His pleasure. 22Bless יהוה, all His works, In all places of His rule. Bless יהוה, O my being! |
