1¤ Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name.2Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.3Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.5Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle's.6The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.7He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.8The Lord is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.9He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever.10He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.11For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.12As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our iniquities from us.13As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him:14For he knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust:15Man's days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.16For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no more.17But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him: And his justice unto children's children,18To such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.19The lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.20Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.21Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.22Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.

1¤ Bless the Lord, O my soul: O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great. Thou hast put on praise and beauty:2And art clothed with light as with a garment. Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion:3Who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water. Who makest the clouds thy chariot: who walkest upon the wings of the winds.4Who makest thy angels spirits: and thy ministers a burning fire.5Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: it shall not be moved for ever and ever.6The deep like a garment is its clothing: above the mountains shall the waters stand.7At thy rebuke they shall flee: at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.8The mountains ascend, and the plains descend into the place which thou hast founded for them.9Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; neither shall they return to cover the earth.10Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.11All the beasts of the field shall drink: the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.12Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.13Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:14Bringing forth grass for cattle, and herb for the service of men. That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth:15And that wine may cheer the heart of man. That he may make the face cheerful with oil: and that bread may strengthen man's heart.16The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted:17There the sparrows shall make their nests. The highest of them is the house of the heron.18The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins.19He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.20Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about:21The young lions roaring after their prey, and seeking their meat from God.22The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: and they shall lie down in their dens.23Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labour until the evening.24How great are thy works, O Lord ? thou hast made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with thy riches.25So is this great sea, which stretcheth wide its arms: there are creeping things without number: Creatures little and great.26There the ships shall go. This sea dragon which thou hast formed to play therein.27All expect of thee that thou give them food in season.28What thou givest to them they shall gather up: when thou openest thy hand, they shall all be filled with good.29But if thou turnest away thy face, they shall be troubled: thou shalt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and shall return to their dust.30Thou shalt send forth thy spirit, and they shall be created: and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.31May the glory of the Lord endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works.32He looketh upon the earth, and maketh it tremble: he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.33I will sing to the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.34Let my speech be acceptable to him: but I will take delight in the Lord.35Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the unjust, so that they be no more: O my soul, bless thou the Lord.

1¤ Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: declare his deeds among the Gentiles.2Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: relate all his wondrous works.3Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.4Seek ye the lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore.5Remember his marvellous works which he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.6O ye seed of Abraham his servant; ye sons of Jacob his chosen.7He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.8He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.9Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:10And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament:11Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance.12When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein:13And they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.14He suffered no man to hurt them: and he reproved kings for their sakes.15Touch ye not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets.16And he called a famine upon the land: and he broke in pieces all the support of bread.17He sent a man before them: Joseph, who was sold for a slave.18They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul,19Until his word came. The word of the Lord inflamed him.20The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.21He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession.22That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom.23And Israel went into Egypt: and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham.24And he increased his people exceedingly: and strengthened them over their enemies.25He turned their heart to hate his people: and to deal deceitfully with his servants.26He sent Moses his servant: Aaron the man whom he had chosen.27He gave them power to shew his signs, and his wonders in the land of Cham.28He sent darkness, and made it obscure: and grieved not his words.29He turned their waters into blood, and destroyed their fish.30Their land brought forth frogs, in the inner chambers of their kings.31He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies and sciniphs in all their coasts.32He gave them hail for rain, a burning fire in the land.33And he destroyed their vineyards and their fig trees: and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts.34He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number.35And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground.36And he slew all the firstborn in their land: the firstfruits of all their labour.37And he brought them out with silver and gold: and there was not among their tribes one that was feeble.38Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them lay upon them.39He spread a cloud for their protection, and fire to give them light in the night.40They asked, and the quail came: and he filled them with the bread of heaven.41He opened the rock, and waters flowed: rivers ran down in the dry land.42Because he remembered his holy word, which he had spoken to his servant Abraham.43And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness.44And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: and they possessed the labours of the people:45That they might observe his justifications, and seek after his law.
