Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all my being, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.
R. The Lord is kind and merciful.
Merciful and gracious is the LORD, slow to anger and abounding in kindness. As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
R. The Lord is kind and merciful.
But the kindness of the LORD is from eternity to eternity toward those who fear him, And his justice towards children's children among those who keep his covenant.
