For as the heavens are high above the earth, so his loyal love prevails over those who fear him.

As a father pities his children, so Yahweh pities those who fear him.

As for man, his days are like the grass. As the flower of the field, so he blossoms.

But the loyal love of Yahweh is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to their children's children,

to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his precepts.

Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.

Bless Yahweh, you his angels, you mighty heroes who do his word by obeying the sound of his word.

Bless Yahweh, all you his hosts, you his attendants who do his will.

Bless Yahweh, all his works, in all the places of his dominion. Bless Yahweh, O my soul.

the one who sets beams in the waters for his upper chambers, who makes clouds his chariot, who rides on the wings of the wind,

who makes his messengers the winds, his attendants a flame of fire.

You are the one who waters the mountains from his upper chambers. The earth is full with the fruit of your labors:

May the glory of Yahweh endure forever. May Yahweh be glad in his works,

Give thanks to Yahweh; proclaim his name; make known his deeds among the peoples.

Sing to him; sing praises concerning him; tell of all his wonderful works.

Boast about his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.

Make supplication to Yahweh and his might; seek his face continually.

Remember his wonders that he has done, his signs and the judgments of his mouth,

O offspring of Abraham his servant, you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.

He is Yahweh our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
