Praise the Lord, O my soule: and forget not all his benefits.
Which forgiueth all thy sinne: and healeth all thine infir∣mities.
Which saueth thy life from destruction: and crowneth thee with mercie and louing kindnesse.
Which satisfieth thy mouth with good things: making thee yong and lustie as an Eagle.
The Lord executeth righteousnesse and iudgement: for all them that are oppressed with wroug.
He shewed his wayes vnto Boses: his workes vnto the children of Israel.
The Lord is full of compassion and mercie: long suffering and of great goodnesse.
He will not alway be chiding: neither keepeth he his anger for euer.
He hath not dealt with vs after our sinnes: nor rewarded vs according to our wickednesse.
For looke howe high the heauen is in comparison of the earth: so great is his mercie also toward them that feare him.
Looke how wide also the East is from the West: so farre hath he set our sinnes from vs.
Yea, like as a father pitieth his owne children: euen so is the Lord mercifull vnto them that feare him.
For he knoweth wherof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust.
The dayes of man are but as grasse: for he florisheth as a flowre of the field.
For as soone as the winde goeth ouer it, it is gone: and the place thereof shall know it no more.
But the mercifull goodnes of the Lord endureth for euer and euer, vpon them that feare him: and his righteousnesse vpon childrens children.
Euen vpon such as keepe his couenant: and thinke vpon his commandements to doe them.
The Lorde hath prepared his seate in heauen: and his kingdome ruleth ouer all.
O praise the Lorde, yee angels of his, yee that excell in

strength: ye that fulfill his commandement, and hearken vn∣to the voice of his wordes.
O praise the Lord all ye his hostes: ye seruants of his that doe his pleasure.
O speake good of the Lord all ye workes of his in all pla∣ces of his dominion: Praise thou the Lord, O my soule.
