1 Bendize, ó minha alma, ao Senhor,

e tudo o que há em mim bendiga ao seu santo nome.

2 Bendize, ó minha alma, ao Senhor,

e não te esqueças de nem um só de seus benefícios.

3 Ele é quem perdoa todas as tuas iniquidades;

quem sara todas as tuas enfermidades;

4 quem da cova redime a tua vida

e te coroa de graça e misericórdia;

5 quem farta de bens a tua velhice,

de sorte que a tua mocidade se renova como a da águia.

6 O Senhor faz justiça

e julga a todos os oprimidos.

7 Manifestou os seus caminhos a Moisés

e os seus feitos aos filhos de Israel.

8 O Senhor é misericordioso e compassivo;

longânimo e assaz benigno.

9 Não repreende perpetuamente,

nem conserva para sempre a sua ira.

10 Não nos trata segundo os nossos pecados,

nem nos retribui consoante as nossas iniquidades.

11 Pois quanto o céu se alteia acima da terra,

assim é grande a sua misericórdia para com os que o temem.

12 Quanto dista o Oriente do Ocidente,

assim afasta de nós as nossas transgressões.

13 Como um pai se compadece de seus filhos,

assim o Senhor se compadece dos que o temem.

14 Pois ele conhece a nossa estrutura

e sabe que somos pó.

15 Quanto ao homem, os seus dias são como a relva;

como a flor do campo, assim ele floresce;

16 pois, soprando nela o vento, desaparece;

e não conhecerá, daí em diante, o seu lugar.

17 Mas a misericórdia do Senhor é de eternidade a eternidade,

sobre os que o temem,

e a sua justiça, sobre os filhos dos filhos,

18 para com os que guardam a sua aliança

e para com os que se lembram dos seus preceitos e os cumprem.

19 Nos céus, estabeleceu o Senhor o seu trono,

e o seu reino domina sobre tudo.

20 Bendizei ao Senhor, todos os seus anjos,

valorosos em poder, que executais as suas ordens

e lhe obedeceis à palavra.

21 Bendizei ao Senhor, todos os seus exércitos,

vós, ministros seus, que fazeis a sua vontade.

22 Bendizei ao Senhor, vós, todas as suas obras,

em todos os lugares do seu domínio.

Bendize, ó minha alma, ao Senhor.

1 Bless Jehovah, O my soul;

And all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul,

And forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;

Who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;

Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thy desire with good things,

So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle.

6 Jehovah executeth righteous acts,

And judgments for all that are oppressed.

7 He made known his ways unto Moses,

His doings unto the children of Israel.

8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious,

Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.

9 He will not always chide;

Neither will he keep his anger for ever.

10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins,

Nor rewarded us after our iniquities.

11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,

So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west,

So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children,

So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

14 For he knoweth our frame;

He remembereth that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are as grass;

As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;

And the place thereof shall know it no more.

17 But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him,

And his righteousness unto children’s children;

18 To such as keep his covenant,

And to those that remember his precepts to do them.

19 Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens;

And his kingdom ruleth over all.

20 Bless Jehovah, ye his angels,

That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word,

Hearkening unto the voice of his word.

21 Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts,

Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

22 Bless Jehovah, all ye his works,

In all places of his dominion:

Bless Jehovah, O my soul.

1 Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

2 Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits —

3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,

4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,

5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

6 The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:

8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.

9 He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;

10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.

11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;

12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;

14 for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.

15 The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field;

16 the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.

17 But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children —

18 with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.

19 The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.

20 Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.

21 Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.

22 Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul.
