1 My soul, give thanks to the Lord,
All my being, bless his holy name.

2 My soul, give thanks to the Lord
And never forget all his blessings.

3 It is he who forgives all your guilt,
Who heals every one of your ills,

4 Who redeems your life from the grave,
Who crowns you with love and compassion,

5 Who fills your life with good things,
Renewing your youth like an eagle’s.

My soul, give thanks to the Lord,
All my being, bless his holy name.
My soul, give thanks to the Lord
And never forget all his blessings.

8 The Lord is compassion and love,
Slow to anger and rich in mercy.

9 His wrath will come to an end;
He will not be angry for ever.

10 He does not treat us according to our sins
Nor repay us according to our faults.

My soul etc.

11 For as heavens are high above the Earth
So strong is his love for those who fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west
So far does he remove our sins.

from Psalm 102(3
