O Blesse and praise the Lord, my soul, and to him thankfull be: Yea, blessed be his holy Name by all that is in me. [verse 2] Give thanks to God for all his gifts, shew not thy selfe unkind; And suffer not his benefits to slip out of thy mind.
[verse 3] That gave thee pardon for thy faults, and thee restor'd againe: For all thy weak and fraile disease, and heal'd thee of thy paine. [verse 4] That did redeem thy life from death, from which thou couldst not flee; His mercy and compassion both he did extend to thee.
[verse 5] Who with good things most liberally doth satisfie thy mouth: That, like the E•…•…gles, now agame rerewed is thy youth. [verse 6] The Lord doth justice execute for those that are opprest; So that their sufferings and their wrongs are turned to the best.
[verse 7] His waies and his commandments just to Moses he did show: His counsell and his valiant acts the Israelites did know. [verse 8]

The Lord is kind and mercifull, when sinners do him grieve; And he is very slow to wrath, and ready to forgive.
[verse 9] He chides not us continually, though we be full of strife; Nor keeps our faults in memory, for all our sinfull life. [verse 10] Nor yet according to our sins the Lord doth us regard; After our great iniquities he doth us not reward.
[verse 11] For as the heaven in his height, the earth surmoun•…•…eth far•…•…e; So high to those that do him feare his tender mercies are. [verse 12] God doth remove our sins from us, and our offences all; As far as is the rising Sun full distant from his fall.
