2Praise the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—

3who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,

4who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,

7He made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel:

8The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.

9He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;

10he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.

11For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;

12as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

13As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;

14for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.

15As for man, his days are like grass,
he flourishes like a flower of the field;

16the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.

17But from everlasting to everlasting
the LORD's love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children's children—

18with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.

19The LORD has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.

20Praise the LORD, you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his bidding,
who obey his word.

21Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts,
you his servants who do his will.

22Praise the LORD, all his works
everywhere in his dominion.
Praise the LORD, O my soul.

2He wraps himself in light as with a garment;
he stretches out the heavens like a tent

3and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.
He makes the clouds his chariot
and rides on the wings of the wind.

4He makes winds his messengers,Or angels
flames of fire his servants.

5He set the earth on its foundations;
it can never be moved.

6You covered it with the deep as with a garment;
the waters stood above the mountains.

7But at your rebuke the waters fled,
at the sound of your thunder they took to flight;

8they flowed over the mountains,
they went down into the valleys,
to the place you assigned for them.

9You set a boundary they cannot cross;
never again will they cover the earth.

10He makes springs pour water into the ravines;
it flows between the mountains.

11They give water to all the beasts of the field;
the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12The birds of the air nest by the waters;
they sing among the branches.

13He waters the mountains from his upper chambers;
the earth is satisfied by the fruit of his work.

14He makes grass grow for the cattle,
and plants for man to cultivate—
bringing forth food from the earth:

15wine that gladdens the heart of man,
oil to make his face shine,
and bread that sustains his heart.

16The trees of the LORD are well watered,
the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.

17There the birds make their nests;
the stork has its home in the pine trees.

18The high mountains belong to the wild goats;
the crags are a refuge for the coneys.That is, the hyrax or rock badger

19The moon marks off the seasons,
and the sun knows when to go down.

20You bring darkness, it becomes night,
and all the beasts of the forest prowl.

21The lions roar for their prey
and seek their food from God.

22The sun rises, and they steal away;
they return and lie down in their dens.

23Then man goes out to his work,
to his labor until evening.

24How many are your works, O LORD!
In wisdom you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.

25There is the sea, vast and spacious,
teeming with creatures beyond number—
living things both large and small.

26There the ships go to and fro,
and the leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.

27These all look to you
to give them their food at the proper time.

28When you give it to them,
they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
they are satisfied with good things.

29When you hide your face,
they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
they die and return to the dust.

30When you send your Spirit,
they are created,
and you renew the face of the earth.

31May the glory of the LORD endure forever;
may the LORD rejoice in his works—

32he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,
who touches the mountains, and they smoke.

33I will sing to the LORD all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

34May my meditation be pleasing to him,
as I rejoice in the LORD.

35But may sinners vanish from the earth
and the wicked be no more.
Praise the LORD, O my soul.
Praise the LORD.Hebrew Hallelu Yah; in the Septuagint this line stands at the beginning of Psalm 105.

2Sing to him, sing praise to him;
tell of all his wonderful acts.

3Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

4Look to the LORD and his strength;
seek his face always.

5Remember the wonders he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,

6O descendants of Abraham his servant,
O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.

7He is the LORD our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.

8He remembers his covenant forever,
the word he commanded, for a thousand generations,

9the covenant he made with Abraham,
the oath he swore to Isaac.

10He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

11“To you I will give the land of Canaan
as the portion you will inherit.”

12When they were but few in number,
few indeed, and strangers in it,

13they wandered from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another.

14He allowed no one to oppress them;
for their sake he rebuked kings:

15“Do not touch my anointed ones;
do my prophets no harm.”

16He called down famine on the land
and destroyed all their supplies of food;

17and he sent a man before them—
Joseph, sold as a slave.

18They bruised his feet with shackles,
his neck was put in irons,

19till what he foretold came to pass,
till the word of the LORD proved him true.

20The king sent and released him,
the ruler of peoples set him free.

21He made him master of his household,
ruler over all he possessed,

22to instruct his princes as he pleased
and teach his elders wisdom.

23Then Israel entered Egypt;
Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.

24The LORD made his people very fruitful;
he made them too numerous for their foes,

25whose hearts he turned to hate his people,
to conspire against his servants.

26He sent Moses his servant,
and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

27They performed his miraculous signs among them,
his wonders in the land of Ham.

28He sent darkness and made the land dark—
for had they not rebelled against his words?

29He turned their waters into blood,
causing their fish to die.

30Their land teemed with frogs,
which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.

31He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,
and gnats throughout their country.

32He turned their rain into hail,
with lightning throughout their land;

33he struck down their vines and fig trees
and shattered the trees of their country.

34He spoke, and the locusts came,
grasshoppers without number;

35they ate up every green thing in their land,
ate up the produce of their soil.

36Then he struck down all the firstborn in their land,
the firstfruits of all their manhood.

37He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold,
and from among their tribes no one faltered.

38Egypt was glad when they left,
because dread of Israel had fallen on them.

39He spread out a cloud as a covering,
and a fire to give light at night.

40They asked, and he brought them quail
and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

41He opened the rock, and water gushed out;
like a river it flowed in the desert.

42For he remembered his holy promise
given to his servant Abraham.

43He brought out his people with rejoicing,
his chosen ones with shouts of joy;

44he gave them the lands of the nations,
and they fell heir to what others had toiled for—

45that they might keep his precepts
and observe his laws.
Praise the LORD.Hebrew Hallelu Yah

2Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the LORD
or fully declare his praise?

3Blessed are they who maintain justice,
who constantly do what is right.

4Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people,
come to my aid when you save them,

5that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones,
that I may share in the joy of your nation
and join your inheritance in giving praise.

6We have sinned, even as our fathers did;
we have done wrong and acted wickedly.

7When our fathers were in Egypt,
they gave no thought to your miracles;
they did not remember your many kindnesses,
and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.Hebrew Yam Suph; that is, Sea of Reeds; also in verses 9 and 22

8Yet he saved them for his name's sake,
to make his mighty power known.

9He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up;
he led them through the depths as through a desert.

10He saved them from the hand of the foe;
from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.

11The waters covered their adversaries;
not one of them survived.

12Then they believed his promises
and sang his praise.

13But they soon forgot what he had done
and did not wait for his counsel.

14In the desert they gave in to their craving;
in the wasteland they put God to the test.

15So he gave them what they asked for,
but sent a wasting disease upon them.

16In the camp they grew envious of Moses
and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the LORD.

17The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan;
it buried the company of Abiram.

18Fire blazed among their followers;
a flame consumed the wicked.

19At Horeb they made a calf
and worshiped an idol cast from metal.

20They exchanged their Glory
for an image of a bull, which eats grass.

21They forgot the God who saved them,
who had done great things in Egypt,

22miracles in the land of Ham
and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.

23So he said he would destroy them—
had not Moses, his chosen one,
stood in the breach before him
to keep his wrath from destroying them.

24Then they despised the pleasant land;
they did not believe his promise.

25They grumbled in their tents
and did not obey the LORD.

26So he swore to them with uplifted hand
that he would make them fall in the desert,

27make their descendants fall among the nations
and scatter them throughout the lands.

28They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor
and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods;

29they provoked the LORD to anger by their wicked deeds,
and a plague broke out among them.

30But Phinehas stood up and intervened,
and the plague was checked.

31This was credited to him as righteousness
for endless generations to come.

32By the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD,
and trouble came to Moses because of them;

33for they rebelled against the Spirit of God,
and rash words came from Moses' lips.Or against his spirit, / and rash words came from his lips

34They did not destroy the peoples
as the LORD had commanded them,

35but they mingled with the nations
and adopted their customs.

36They worshiped their idols,
which became a snare to them.

37They sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to demons.

38They shed innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was desecrated by their blood.

39They defiled themselves by what they did;
by their deeds they prostituted themselves.

40Therefore the LORD was angry with his people
and abhorred his inheritance.

41He handed them over to the nations,
and their foes ruled over them.

42Their enemies oppressed them
and subjected them to their power.

43Many times he delivered them,
but they were bent on rebellion
and they wasted away in their sin.

44But he took note of their distress
when he heard their cry;

45for their sake he remembered his covenant
and out of his great love he relented.

46He caused them to be pitied
by all who held them captive.

47Save us, O LORD our God,
and gather us from the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name
and glory in your praise.

48Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
Let all the people say, “Amen!”
Praise the LORD.

2Let the redeemed of the LORD say this—
those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,

3those he gathered from the lands,
from east and west, from north and south.Hebrew north and the sea

4Some wandered in desert wastelands,
finding no way to a city where they could settle.

5They were hungry and thirsty,
and their lives ebbed away.

6Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.

7He led them by a straight way
to a city where they could settle.

8Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for men,

9for he satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things.

10Some sat in darkness and the deepest gloom,
prisoners suffering in iron chains,

11for they had rebelled against the words of God
and despised the counsel of the Most High.

12So he subjected them to bitter labor;
they stumbled, and there was no one to help.

13Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.

14He brought them out of darkness and the deepest gloom
and broke away their chains.

15Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for men,

16for he breaks down gates of bronze
and cuts through bars of iron.

17Some became fools through their rebellious ways
and suffered affliction because of their iniquities.

18They loathed all food
and drew near the gates of death.

19Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.

20He sent forth his word and healed them;
he rescued them from the grave.

21Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for men.

22Let them sacrifice thank offerings
and tell of his works with songs of joy.

23Others went out on the sea in ships;
they were merchants on the mighty waters.

24They saw the works of the LORD,
his wonderful deeds in the deep.

25For he spoke and stirred up a tempest
that lifted high the waves.

26They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths;
in their peril their courage melted away.

27They reeled and staggered like drunken men;
they were at their wits' end.

28Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
and he brought them out of their distress.

29He stilled the storm to a whisper;
the waves of the sea were hushed.

30They were glad when it grew calm,
and he guided them to their desired haven.

31Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for men.

32Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people
and praise him in the council of the elders.

33He turned rivers into a desert,
flowing springs into thirsty ground,

34and fruitful land into a salt waste,
because of the wickedness of those who lived there.

35He turned the desert into pools of water
and the parched ground into flowing springs;

36there he brought the hungry to live,
and they founded a city where they could settle.

37They sowed fields and planted vineyards
that yielded a fruitful harvest;

38he blessed them, and their numbers greatly increased,
and he did not let their herds diminish.

39Then their numbers decreased, and they were humbled
by oppression, calamity and sorrow;

40he who pours contempt on nobles
made them wander in a trackless waste.

41But he lifted the needy out of their affliction
and increased their families like flocks.

42The upright see and rejoice,
but all the wicked shut their mouths.

43Whoever is wise, let him heed these things
and consider the great love of the LORD.
