CEB

MSG

1 Let my whole being bless the LORD! Let everything inside me bless his holy name!
1 O my soul, bless God. From head to toe, I'll bless his holy name!
2 Let my whole being bless the LORD and never forget all his good deeds:
2 O my soul, bless God, don't forget a single blessing!
3 how God forgives all your sins, heals all your sickness,
3 He forgives your sins - every one. He heals your diseases - every one.
4 saves your life from the pit, crowns you with faithful love and compassion,
4 He redeems you from hell - saves your life! He crowns you with love and mercy - a paradise crown.
5 and satisfies you with plenty of good things so that your youth is made fresh like an eagle's.
5 He wraps you in goodness - beauty eternal. He renews your youth - you're always young in his presence.
6 The LORD works righteousness; does justice for all who are oppressed.
6 God makes everything come out right; he puts victims back on their feet.
7 God made his ways known to Moses; made his deeds known to the Israelites.
7 He showed Moses how he went about his work, opened up his plans to all Israel.
8 The LORD is compassionate and merciful, very patient, and full of faithful love.
8 God is sheer mercy and grace; not easily angered, he's rich in love.
9 God won't always play the judge; he won't be angry forever.
9 He doesn't endlessly nag and scold, nor hold grudges forever.
10 He doesn't deal with us according to our sin or repay us according to our wrongdoing,
10 He doesn't treat us as our sins deserve, nor pay us back in full for our wrongs.
11 because as high as heaven is above the earth, that's how large God's faithful love is for those who honor him.
11 As high as heaven is over the earth, so strong is his love to those who fear him.
12 As far as east is from west— that's how far God has removed our sin from us.
12 And as far as sunrise is from sunset, he has separated us from our sins.
13 Like a parent feels compassion for their children— that's how the LORD feels compassion for those who honor him.
13 As parents feel for their children, God feels for those who fear him.
14 Because God knows how we're made, God remembers we're just dust.
14 He knows us inside and out, keeps in mind that we're made of mud.
15 The days of a human life are like grass: they bloom like a wildflower;
15 Men and women don't live very long; like wildflowers they spring up and blossom,
16 but when the wind blows through it, it's gone; even the ground where it stood doesn't remember it.
16 But a storm snuffs them out just as quickly, leaving nothing to show they were here.
17 But the LORD's faithful love is from forever ago to forever from now for those who honor him. And God's righteousness reaches to the grandchildren
17 God's love, though, is ever and always, eternally present to all who fear him, Making everything right for them and their children
18 of those who keep his covenant and remember to keep his commands.
18 as they follow his Covenant ways and remember to do whatever he said.
19 The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.
19 God has set his throne in heaven; he rules over us all. He's the King!
20 You divine messengers, bless the LORD! You who are mighty in power and keep his word, who obey everything he says, bless him!
20 So bless God, you angels, ready and able to fly at his bidding, quick to hear and do what he says.
21 All you heavenly forces, bless the LORD! All you who serve him and do his will, bless him!
21 Bless God, all you armies of angels, alert to respond to whatever he wills.
22 All God's creatures, bless the LORD! Everywhere, throughout his kingdom, let my whole being bless the LORD!
22 Bless God, all creatures, wherever you are - everything and everyone made by God. And you, O my soul, bless God!
