Read the chapter

1Of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; all that is within me, bless His holy name. ✦ 2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds— ✦ 3He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases, ✦ 4who redeems your life from the Pit and crowns you with loving devotion and compassion, ✦ 5who satisfies you with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. ✦ 6The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. ✦ 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 loving devotion. ✦ 9He will not always accuse us, nor harbor His anger forever. ✦ 10He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities. ✦ 11For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving devotion 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 our frame; He is mindful that we are dust. ✦ 15As for man, his days are like grass—he blooms like a flower of the field; ✦ 16when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more. ✦ 17But from everlasting to everlasting the loving devotion of the LORD extends to those who fear Him, and His righteousness to their children’s children— ✦ 18to 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. ✦ 20Bless the LORD, all His angels mighty in strength who carry out His word, who hearken to the voice of His command. ✦ 21Bless the LORD, all His hosts, you servants who do His will. ✦ 22Bless the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul! ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.
