1 Of David. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let everything in me give praise to his holy name.

2 Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let not all his blessings go from your memory.

3 He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases;

4 He keeps back your life from destruction, crowning you with mercy and grace.

5 He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's.

6 The Lord gives decisions in righteousness for all who are in trouble.

7 He gave knowledge of his way to Moses, and made his acts clear to the children of Israel.

8 The Lord is kind and full of pity, not quickly made angry, but ever ready to have mercy.

9 His feeling will no longer be bitter; he will not keep his wrath for ever.

10 He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing.

11 For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us.

13 As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.

14 For he has knowledge of our feeble frame; he sees that we are only dust.

15 As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field.

16 The wind goes over it and it is gone; and its place sees it no longer.

17 But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness;

18 If they keep his agreement, and have his laws in mind to do them.

19 The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all.

20 Give praise to the Lord, you his angels, who are great in strength, doing his orders, and waiting for his voice.

21 Give praise to the Lord, all you his armies; and you his servants who do his pleasure.

22 Give praise to the Lord, all his works, in all places under his rule: give praise to the Lord, O my soul.

1 我的心哪! 你要称颂耶和华; 在我里面的一切, 都要称颂他的圣名。(本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题)

2 我的心哪! 你要称颂耶和华; 不可忘记他的一切恩惠。

3 他赦免你的一切罪孽, 医治你的一切疾病;

4 他救赎你的性命脱离死亡, 以慈爱和怜悯作你的冠冕;

5 他以福乐使你的心愿满足, 以致你好像鹰一般恢复青春的活力。

6 耶和华施行公义, 为所有受欺压的人主持公道。

7 他向摩西指示自己的道路, 向以色列人显明自己的作为。

8 耶和华有怜悯, 有恩典, 不轻易发怒, 并且有丰盛的慈爱。

9 他不长久责备, 也不永远怀怒。

10 他没有按着我们的罪过待我们, 也没有照着我们的罪孽报应我们。

11 天离地有多高, 他的慈爱向敬畏他的人也有多大。

12 东离西有多远, 他使我们的过犯离我们也有多远。

13 父亲怎样怜恤儿子, 耶和华也照样怜恤敬畏他的人;

14 因为他知道我们的本体, 记得我们不过是尘土。

15 至于世人, 他的年日好像草一般; 他又像野地繁茂的花。

16 经风一吹, 就归无有; 他原来的地方再不认识他。

17 但从亘古到永远, 耶和华的慈爱临到敬畏他的人; 他的公义也归于他们的子子孙孙,

18 就是那些谨守他的约, 记住他的训词, 并且遵行的人。

19 耶和华在天上立定宝座, 他的王权统管万有。

20 你们作他天使的, 就是那些大有能力, 行他所吩咐, 以及听从他命令的, 都要称颂耶和华。

21 你们作他的众军, 作他的仆役, 遵行他旨意的, 都要称颂耶和华。

22 你们一切被他所造的, 在他统治的各处, 都要称颂耶和华。我的心哪, 你要称颂耶和华。
