Praise the LORD, O my soul : and forget not all His benefits; : 3. Who forgiveth all thy sin and healeth all thine infirmities; 4. Who saveth thy life from destruction: and crowneth thee with mercy and loving-kindness; 5. Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things: making thee young and lusty as an eagle. 6. The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment : for all them that are oppressed with wrong. 7. He shewed His ways unto Moses: His works unto the children of Israel. 8. The LORD is full of compassion and mercy: longsuffering, and of great goodness. 9. He will not alway be chiding His anger for ever. neither keepeth He 10. He hath not dealt with us after our sins nor rewarded us according to our wickedness. II. For look how high the heaven is in comparison of the earth so great is His mercy also toward them that fear Him. 12. Look how wide also the east is from the west : so far hath He set our sins from us. 13. Yea, like as a father pitieth his own children: even so is the LORD merciful unto them that fear Him. 14. For He knoweth whereof we are made: He remembereth that we are but dust. 15. The days of man are but as grass: for he flourisheth as a flower of the field. 16. For as soon as the wind goeth over it, it is gone : and the place thereof shall know it no more. 17. But the merciful goodness of the LORD endureth for ever and ever upon them that fear Him and His righteousness upon children's children. 18. Even upon such as keep His covenant: and think upon His commandments to do them. 19. The LORD hath prepared His seat in heaven: and His kingdom ruleth over all. 20. O praise the LORD, ye angels of His, ye that excel in strength ye that fulfil His commandment, and hearken unto the voice of His words. 21. O praise the LORD, all ye His hosts: ye servants of His that do His pleasure. 22. O speak good of the LORD, all ye works of His, in all places of His dominion: praise thou the LORD, O my soul. PSALM XXIII. Dominus regit me. therefore can I lack HE LORD is my shepherd THE nothing. 2. He shall feed me in a green pasture and lead me forth beside the waters of comfort. 3.

Thou shalt prepare a table before me against them that trouble me: Thou hast anointed my head with oil, and my cup shall be full. 6. But Thy loving-kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. Glory be, etc. J A Hymn of Preparation.
