לדוד ברכי נפשי את-יהוה וכל-קרבי את-שם קדשו | 1 |
“Of David.” Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and all that is within me, his holy name.
ברכי נפשי את-יהוה ואל-תשכחי כל-גמוליו | 2 |
Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and forget not all his benefits:
הסלח לכל-עונכי הרפא לכל-תחלואיכי | 3 |
Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
הגואל משחת חייכי המעטרכי חסד ורחמים | 4 |
Who redeemeth from the pit thy life; who crowneth thee with kindness and mercies;
המשביע בטוב עדיך תתחדש כנשר נעוריכי | 5 |
Who satisfieth with happiness thy spirit, so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's [plumage].
עשה צדקות יהוה ומשפטים לכל-עשוקים | 6 |
The Lord executeth righteousness, and justice for all that are oppressed.
יודיע דרכיו למשה לבני ישראל עלילותיו | 7 |
He made known his ways unto Moses, unto the children of Israel his acts.
רחום וחנון יהוה ארך אפים ורב-חסד | 8 |
Merciful and gracious is the Lord, long-suffering and abundant in kindness.
לא-לנצח יריב ולא לעולם יטור | 9 |
Not for all eternity will he contend; nor will he for ever retain his anger.
לא כחטאינו עשה לנו ולא כעונתינו גמל עלינו | 10 |
Not in accordance with our sins hath he dealt with us; nor according to our iniquities hath he requited us.
כי כגבה שמים על-הארץ-- גבר חסדו על-יראיו | 11 |
For as high as heaven is above the earth, so mighty is his kindness toward those that fear him.
כרחק מזרח ממערב-- הרחיק ממנו את-פשעינו | 12 |
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed from us our transgressions.
כרחם אב על-בנים-- רחם יהוה על-יראיו | 13 |
As a father hath mercy on his children, so hath the Lord mercy on those that fear him.
כי-הוא ידע יצרנו זכור כי-עפר אנחנו | 14 |
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
אנוש כחציר ימיו כציץ השדה כן יציץ | 15 |
As for man, like the grass are his days: as the blossom of the field, so doth he bloom.
כי רוח עברה-בו ואיננו ולא-יכירנו עוד מקומו | 16 |
When a wind but passeth over it, it is gone, and its place will recognize it no more.
וחסד יהוה מעולם ועד-עולם-- על-יראיו וצדקתו לבני בנים | 17 |
But the kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting over those that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,
לשמרי בריתו ולזכרי פקדיו לעשותם | 18 |
To such as keep his covenant, and to those who remember his precepts to execute them.
יהוה--בשמים הכין כסאו ומלכותו בכל משלה | 19 |
The Lord hath established in the heavens his throne; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
ברכו יהוה מלאכיו גברי כח עשי דברו לשמע בקול דברו | 20 |
Bless the Lord, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
ברכו יהוה כל-צבאיו-- משרתיו עשי רצונו | 21 |
Bless ye the Lord, all his hosts, ye his ministers, that execute his will.
ברכו יהוה כל-מעשיו-- בכל-מקמות ממשלתו ברכי נפשי את-יהוה | 22 |
Bless the Lord, all his works, in all the places of his dominion; bless, O my soul, the Lord.
