Of David. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let everything in me give praise to his holy name.

Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let not all his blessings go from your memory.
הסלח לכל-עונכי הרפא לכל-תחלואיכי | 3 |
He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases;
הגואל משחת חייכי המעטרכי חסד ורחמים | 4 |
He keeps back your life from destruction, crowning you with mercy and grace.
המשביע בטוב עדיך תתחדש כנשר נעוריכי | 5 |
He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's.
עשה צדקות יהוה ומשפטים לכל-עשוקים | 6 |
The Lord gives decisions in righteousness for all who are in trouble.
יודיע דרכיו למשה לבני ישראל עלילותיו | 7 |
He gave knowledge of his way to Moses, and made his acts clear to the children of Israel.
רחום וחנון יהוה ארך אפים ורב-חסד | 8 |
The Lord is kind and full of pity, not quickly made angry, but ever ready to have mercy.
לא-לנצח יריב ולא לעולם יטור | 9 |
His feeling will no longer be bitter; he will not keep his wrath for ever.
לא כחטאינו עשה לנו ולא כעונתינו גמל עלינו | 10 |
He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing.
כי כגבה שמים על-הארץ-- גבר חסדו על-יראיו | 11 |
For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers.
כרחק מזרח ממערב-- הרחיק ממנו את-פשעינו | 12 |
As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us.
כרחם אב על-בנים-- רחם יהוה על-יראיו | 13 |
As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.
כי-הוא ידע יצרנו זכור כי-עפר אנחנו | 14 |
For he has knowledge of our feeble frame; he sees that we are only dust.
אנוש כחציר ימיו כציץ השדה כן יציץ | 15 |
As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field.
כי רוח עברה-בו ואיננו ולא-יכירנו עוד מקומו | 16 |
The wind goes over it and it is gone; and its place sees it no longer.
וחסד יהוה מעולם ועד-עולם-- על-יראיו וצדקתו לבני בנים | 17 |
But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness;
לשמרי בריתו ולזכרי פקדיו לעשותם | 18 |
If they keep his agreement, and have his laws in mind to do them.
יהוה--בשמים הכין כסאו ומלכותו בכל משלה | 19 |
The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all.
ברכו יהוה מלאכיו גברי כח עשי דברו לשמע בקול דברו | 20 |
Give praise to the Lord, you his angels, who are great in strength, doing his orders, and waiting for his voice.
ברכו יהוה כל-צבאיו-- משרתיו עשי רצונו | 21 |
Give praise to the Lord, all you his armies; and you his servants who do his pleasure.
ברכו יהוה כל-מעשיו-- בכל-מקמות ממשלתו ברכי נפשי את-יהוה | 22 |
Give praise to the Lord, all his works, in all places under his rule: give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
