Rh A PSALM OF PRAISE

(Psalm CII)

LESS the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless His holy name.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all He hath done for thee.

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities: Who healeth all thy diseases.

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: Who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.

Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: so that thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle’s.

The Lord doth righteous acts, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.

He hath made His ways known unto Moses: His acts unto the children of Israel.

The Lord is compassionate and merciful: long-suffering and plenteous in mercy.

He will not always be angry: nor will He threaten for ever.

He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

For as heaven is high above the earth: so mighty is His mercy towards them that fear Him.

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.

As a father hath compassion on his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him: for He knoweth our frame.
