(By David.)
The Lord's Wonderful Love
1 With all my heart
I praise the Lord,
and with all that I am
I praise his holy name!
2 With all my heart
I praise the Lord!
I will never forget
how kind he has been.
3 The Lord forgives our sins,
heals us when we are sick,
4 and protects us from death.
His kindness and love
are a crown on our heads.
5 Each day that we live,
he provides for our needs
and gives us the strength
of a young eagle.
6 For all who are mistreated,
the Lord brings justice.
7 He taught his Law to Moses
and showed all Israel
what he could do.
8 The Lord is merciful!
He is kind and patient,
and his love never fails.
9 The Lord won't always be angry
and point out our sins;
10 he doesn't punish us
as our sins deserve.
11 How great is God's love for all
who worship him?
Greater than the distance
between heaven and earth!
12 How far has the Lord taken
our sins from us?
Farther than the distance
from east to west!
13 Just as parents are kind
to their children,
the Lord is kind
to all who worship him,
14 because he knows
we are made of dust.
15 We humans are like grass
or wild flowers
that quickly bloom.
16 But a scorching wind blows,
and they quickly wither
to be forever forgotten.
17 The Lord is always kind
to those who worship him,
and he keeps his promises
to their descendants
18 who faithfully obey him.
19 God has set up his kingdom
in heaven, and he rules
the whole creation.
20 All of you mighty angels,
who obey God's commands,
come and praise your Lord!
21 All of you thousands
who serve and obey God,
come and praise your Lord!
22 All of God's creation
and all that he rules,
come and praise your Lord!
With all my heart
I praise the Lord!
1 A Psalme of David. My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and all that is within me, prayse his holy Name. 2 My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and forget not all his benefites. 3 Which forgiueth all thine iniquitie, and healeth all thine infirmities. 4 Which redeemeth thy life from the graue, and crowneth thee with mercy and compassions. 5 Which satisfieth thy mouth with good things: and thy youth is renued like the eagles. 6 The Lord executeth righteousnes and iudgement to all that are oppressed. 7 He made his wayes knowen vnto Moses, and his workes vnto the children of Israel. 8 The Lord is full of compassion and mercie, slowe to anger and of great kindnesse. 9 He will not alway chide, neither keepe his anger for euer. 10 He hath not dealt with vs after our sinnes, nor rewarded vs according to our iniquities. 11 For as high as the heauen is aboue ye earth, so great is his mercie toward them that feare him. 12 As farre as the East is from the West: so farre hath he remooued our sinnes from vs. 13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that feare him. 14 For he knoweth whereof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust. 15 The dayes of man are as grasse: as a flowre of the fielde, so florisheth he. 16 For the winde goeth ouer it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall knowe it no more. 17 But the louing kindnesse of the Lord endureth for euer and euer vpon them that feare him, and his righteousnes vpon childrens children, 18 Vnto them that keepe his couenant, and thinke vpon his commandements to doe them. 19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heauen, and his Kingdome ruleth ouer all. 20 Prayse the Lord, ye his Angels, that excell in strength, that doe his commandement in obeying the voyce of his worde. 21 Prayse the Lord, all ye his hostes, ye his seruants that doe his pleasure. 22 Prayse the Lord, all ye his workes, in all places of his dominion: my soule, prayse thou the Lord.
