4 Who saveth thy life from destruction: and crowneth thee with
mercy and loving-kindness;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things: making thee young
and lusty as an eagle.
6 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgement: for all them
that are oppressed with wrong.
7 He shewed his ways unto Moses: his works unto the children of
Israel.
8 The Lord is full of compassion and mercy: long-suffering, and
of great goodness.
9 He will not alway be chiding: neither keepeth he his anger for
ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins: nor rewarded us
according to our wickednesses.
11 For look how high the heaven is in comparison of the earth:
so great is his mercy also toward them that fear him.
12 Look how wide also the east is from the west: so far hath he
set our sins from us.
13 Yea, like as a father pitieth his own children: even so is
the Lord merciful unto them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth whereof we are made: he remembereth that we
are but dust
15 The days of man are but as grass: for he flourisheth as a
flower of the field.
16 For as soon as the wind goeth over it, it is gone: and the
place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the merciful goodness of the Lord endureth for ever and
ever upon them that fear him: and his righteousness upon children's
children;
18 Even upon such as keep his covenant: and think upon his
commandments to do them.
19 The Lord hath prepared his seat in heaven: and his kingdom
ruleth over all.
20 O praise the Lord, ye angels of his, ye that excel in strength:
ye that fulfil his commandment, and hearken unto the voice of his
words.
21 O praise the Lord, all ye his hosts: ye servants of his that do
his pleasure.
22 O speak good of the Lord, all ye works of his, in all places
of his dominion: praise thou the Lord, O my soul.
