New Living Translation NLT
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Let all that I am praise the LORD ; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.
1
By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts -- His Holy Name.
2 Let all that I am praise the LORD ; may I never forget the good things he does for me.
2
Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,
3 He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.
3
Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,
4 He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies.
4
Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee -- kindness and mercies,
5 He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!
5
Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.
6 The LORD gives righteousness and justice to all who are treated unfairly.
6
Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
7 He revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel.
7
He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.
8 The LORD is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
8
Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9 He will not constantly accuse us, nor remain angry forever.
9
Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.
10 He does not punish us for all our sins; he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve.
10
Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.
11 For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.
11
For, as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.
12 He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.
12
As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.
13 The LORD is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
13
As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.
14 For he knows how weak we are; he remembers we are only dust.
14
For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
15 Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die.
15
Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;
16 The wind blows, and we are gone— as though we had never been here.
16
For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.
17 But the love of the LORD remains forever with those who fear him. His salvation extends to the children’s children
17
And the kindness of Jehovah [Is] from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,
18 of those who are faithful to his covenant, of those who obey his commandments!
18
To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
19 The LORD has made the heavens his throne; from there he rules over everything.
19
Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.
20 Praise the LORD, you angels, you mighty ones who carry out his plans, listening for each of his commands.
20
Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power -- doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.
21 Yes, praise the LORD, you armies of angels who serve him and do his will!
21
Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers -- doing His pleasure.
22 Praise the LORD, everything he has created, everything in all his kingdom. Let all that I am praise the LORD .
22
Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
