 1.  Bless the Lord Eternal, O my soul,
        bless His holy sacred name!
     And forget not all His benefits
        to those who fear His name.
     He forgives all our iniquities;
        our diseases he will heal;
     From destruction He redeems our life,
        and He crowns us with His love.  
 2.  Bless the Lord Eternal, O my soul,
        let the heavens praise His name!
     For His mercy is as high above
        as the heav'n above the earth.
     Not according to our many sins
        has the Lord so dealt with us;
     For as far as east is from the west
        He removes from us our sins!  
 3.  Bless the Lord Eternal, O my soul,
        let the angels praise His name!
     For in heaven He has fixed His throne
        and there He rules the earth.
     The Eternal vindicates the cause
        of all those who have been wronged;
     For His mercy is as high above
        as the heav'ns above the earth!  
 4.  Bless the Lord Eternal, O my soul,
        for His love always endures!
     And His loyalty is to our sons 
        who keep all His commands.
     As for man he blossoms like a flow'r,
        and his days are like the grass;
     But from death the Lord redeems our life
        and He crowns us with His love.
