|
\d A psalm written by David.
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 I tell myself that I should praise Yahweh.
|
|
\q2 I will praise him because he is holy.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 I tell myself that I should praise Yahweh
|
|
\q2 and never forget all the kind things he has done for me.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 He forgives all my sins,
|
|
\q2 and he heals me from all my diseases;
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 he keeps me from dying,
|
|
\q2 and he blesses me by faithfully loving me and acting mercifully to me as he promised to do.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 He gives me good things during my entire life.
|
|
\q2 He makes me feel young and strong like eagles.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 Yahweh judges justly all those who have been treated unfairly.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 Long ago he revealed to Moses what he planned to do;
|
|
\q2 he showed to the ancestors of us Israelites the mighty things that he was able to do.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 Yahweh acts mercifully and kindly;
|
|
\q2 he does not quickly get angry when we sin;
|
|
\q1 he is always showing us that he faithfully loves us.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 He will not keep rebuking us,
|
|
\q2 and he will not remain angry forever.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 He has not punished us for our sins as we deserved.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 The skies are very high above the earth,
|
|
\q2 and Yahweh's faithful love for all those who revere him is just as great.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 He has taken away the guilt for our sins
|
|
\q2 and put it as far from us as the east is from the west.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 Just as parents act mercifully toward their children,
|
|
\q2 Yahweh is kind to those who revere him.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 He knows what our bodies are like;
|
|
\q2 he remembers that he created us from dust
|
|
\q2 and that we therefore quickly fail to do what pleases him .
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 We humans do not live forever;
|
|
\q2 we are like grass which withers and dies.
|
|
\q1 We are like wild flowers that bloom for a short while;
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 but then the hot wind blows over them, and they disappear;
|
|
\q2 no one sees them again.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 But Yahweh will faithfully keep loving forever
|
|
\q2 all those who revere him, as he promised.
|
|
\q2 He will act fairly to our children and to their children;
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 he will act that way to all those who obey the covenant he made with them to bless them if they did what he told them to do,
|
|
\q2 to all those who obey what he has commanded.
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 19 Yahweh has taken his seat in the heavens where he rules as king;
|
|
\q2 from there he rules over everything.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 20 You angels who belong to Yahweh, praise him!
|
|
\q2 You are powerful creatures who do what he tells you to do;
|
|
\q2 you obey what he commands.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 21 Praise Yahweh, you armies of angels who serve him and do what he desires.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 22 All you things that Yahweh has created, praise him;
|
|
\q2 praise him in every place where he rules, everywhere!
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1 I also will praise Yahweh!
