2 Blefs the Lord, O my foul, and forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities who healeth all thy diseases.

4 Who redeemeth thy life from deftruction: who crowneth thee with loving kindness, and tender mercies. 5 Who fatisfieth thy mouth with good things: so that thy youth is renewed like the eagles.

8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, flow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

PSALM CIV. LESS the Lord, O my foul: O Lord my God, thou art very great, thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

2 Who covereft thyself with light, as with a garment: who ftretcheft out the heavens like a curtain.

21 The young lions roar after their prey, and feek their meat from God.

22 The fun arifeth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.

23 Man goeth forth unto his work, and to his labour until the evening.

24 O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wifdom haft thou made them all the earth is full of thy riches.

25 So is this great and wide fea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beafts.

26 There go the ships; there is that leviathan, whom thou haft made to play therein.

32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

34 My meditation of him fhall be fweet: I will be glad in the Lord.
