1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, ♦︎
and all that is within me bless his holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, ♦︎
and forget not all his benefits;
13 As a father has compassion on his children, ♦︎
so is the Lord merciful towards those who fear him.
14 For he knows of what we are made; ♦︎
he remembers that we are but dust.
15 Our days are but as grass; ♦︎
we flourish as a flower of the field;
16 For as soon as the wind goes over it, it is gone, ♦︎
and its place shall know it no more.
17 But the merciful goodness of the Lord is from of old
and endures for ever on those who fear him, ♦︎
and his righteousness on childrens children;
18 On those who keep his covenant ♦︎
and remember his commandments to do them.
