⁶ The Lord works ^(J)righteousness
    and justice for all who are oppressed.
⁷ He made known his ^(K)ways to Moses,
    his ^(L)acts to the people of Israel.
⁸ The Lord is ^(M)merciful and gracious,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
^9 (N)He will not always chide,
    nor will he ^(O)keep his anger forever.
¹⁰ He does not deal with us ^(P)according to our sins,
    nor repay us according to our iniquities.
¹¹ For ^(Q)as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his ^(R)steadfast love toward ^(S)those who fear him;
¹² as far as the east is from the west,
    so far does he ^(T)remove our transgressions from us.
¹³ As ^(U)a father shows compassion to his children,
    so the Lord shows compassion ^(V)to those who fear him.
¹⁴ For he knows our frame;^[a]
    he ^(W)remembers that we are dust.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are like ^(X)grass;
    he flourishes like ^(Y)a flower of the field;
¹⁶ for ^(Z)the wind passes over it, and ^(AA)it is gone,
    and ^(AB)its place knows it no more.
¹⁷ But ^(AC)the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on ^(AD)those who fear him,
    and his righteousness to ^(AE)children's children,
¹⁸ to those who ^(AF)keep his covenant
    and ^(AG)remember to do his commandments.
¹⁹ The Lord has ^(AH)established his throne in the heavens,
    and his ^(AI)kingdom rules over all.

²⁰ Bless the Lord, O you ^(AJ)his angels,
    you ^(AK)mighty ones who ^(AL)do his word,
    obeying the voice of his word!
²¹ Bless the Lord, all his ^(AM)hosts,
    his ^(AN)ministers, who do his will!
^22 (AO)Bless the Lord, all his works,
    in all places of his dominion.
^(AP)Bless the Lord, O my soul!
