that men may declare in Zion the name of the LORD, and in Jerusalem his praise,

A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name!

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,

For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;

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

As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field;

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

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

Bless the LORD, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word!

O give thanks to the LORD, call on his name, make known his deeds among the peoples!

Sing to him, sing praises to him, tell of all his wonderful works!
