To hear the sighing of the prisoner; To loose those that are appointed to death;

When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations.

They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; As a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

The children of thy servants shall continue, And their seed shall be established before thee.

Bless Jehovah, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

Jehovah executeth righteous acts, And judgments for all that are oppressed.

Jehovah is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.

He hath not dealt with us after our sins, Nor rewarded us after our iniquities.

As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more.

To such as keep his covenant, And to those that remember his precepts to do them.

Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Bless Jehovah, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion: Bless Jehovah, O my soul.

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;

Who maketh winds his messengers; Flames of fire his ministers;

Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; The waters stood above the mountains.

(The mountains rose, the valleys sank down) Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.

He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; They run among the mountains;

By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation; They sing among the branches.

He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, And herb for the service of man; That he may bring forth food out of the earth,

The trees of Jehovah are filled [with moisture], The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
