Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. He made known his ways unto His acts unto the children of The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. He will not always chide; neither will he keep his anger for ever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, So great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Like as a father pitieth his children, So the Lord pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust. As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children's children; To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. Bless the Lord, all ye his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul. His right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. The Lord hath made known his O give thanks unto the Lord, call salvation: upon his name; Make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his wondrous works. His righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen. He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: Make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. Know ye that the Lord he is Sing praises unto the Lord with God: It is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise; Be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; And his truth endureth unto all generations. Ps. 98. O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: the harp; With the harp and the voice of melody. With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King. Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein, Let the floods clap their hands; Let the hills sing for joy together before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth: With righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity. Ps. 67. SELECTION 3 PRAISE God be merciful unto us, and bless us; And cause his face to shine upon us; That thy way may be known upon earth, Thy saving health among all nations. Let the people praise thee, O God; Let all the people praise thee. O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: For thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Let the people praise thee, O God; Let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her in crease: And God, even our own God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; And all the ends of the earth shall fear him. Ps. III. Praise ye the Lord. I will give thanks unto the Lord with my whole heart, In the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. His work is honour and majesty; and his righteousness endureth for ever. He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: The Lord is gracious and full of compassion. He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. He hath showed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. The works of his hands are truth and justice; all his precepts are sure. They are established for ever and ever, they are done in truth and uprightness. He hath sent redemption unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: Holy and reverend is his name. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: A good understanding have all they that do his commandments: Ps. 106. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting; and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the Lord. |
