My Soul, Give Thanks Prayer
My soul,
give thanks to the Lord, all my being, bless His
holy name. My soul, give thanks to the Lord and
never forget all His blessings. It is He who
forgives all your guilt, who heals every one of your
ills, Who redeems your life from the grave, who
crowns you with love and compassion, Who fills your
life with good things, renewing your youth like an
eagle’s. The Lord does deeds of justice, gives
judgment for all who are oppressed. He made known
His ways to Moses and His deeds to Israel’s sons.
The Lord is compassion and love, slow to anger and
rich in mercy. His wrath will come to an end, He
will not be angry forever. He does not treat us
according to our sins, nor repay us according to our
faults. For as the heavens are high above the earth
so strong is His love for those who fear Him. As far
as the east is from the west, so far does He remove
our sins. As a father has compassion on his sons the
Lord has pity on those who fear Him. For He knows of
what we are made, He remembers that we are dust. As
for man, his days are like grass, he flowers like
the flower of the field; The wind blows and he is
gone and his place never sees him again. But the
love of the Lord is everlasting upon those who hold
Him in fear; His justice reaches out to children’s
children when they keep His covenant in truth, when
they keep His will in their mind. The Lord has set
His sway in heaven, and His kingdom is ruling over
all. Give thanks to the Lord, all His angels, mighty
in power, fulfilling His word, who heed the voice of
His word. Give thanks to the Lord, all His hosts,
His servants who do His will. Give thanks to the
Lord, all His works, in every place where He rules.
My soul, give thanks to the Lord.
