/(3+3)
3/ He is the one who has forgiven all your iniquity,/
/ who has cured all your ailments, /(3+3)
4/ the one who has redeemed your life from the Pit,/
/ who has crowned you with loyal love and affection, /(3+3)
5/ the one who has filled your existence with good/
/ so that your youth has come back, new as an eagle’s./
6/ Yahweh performs saving deeds,/
/ winning justice for all victims of oppression.
/(3+3)
7/ He made his ways known to Moses,/
/ to the Israelites his actions: /(3+3)
8/ “Yahweh is affectionate and dutiful,/
/ patient and lavish in loyal love.”/
9/ He does not perpetually rebuke/
/ nor does he retain his anger forever.
/(3+3)
10/ He has not treated us in proportion to our sins/
/ nor has he dealt with us as our iniquities deserved.
/(4+4)
11/ But as high as heaven is above the earth,/

12/ As far as east is from west/
/ has he removed from us punishment for our rebel ways.
/(3+3)

15/ Man is as shortlived as grass./
/ He blossoms as briefly as a wild flower /(3+3)
16/ which, when the wind passes over it, is gone,/
/ known no more by its former place.
/(3+3)
17/ But Yahweh’s loyal love stays from age/
/ to age upon those who revere him,/
/ and his vindication is for children’s children /(3+3+3?)
18/ of those who keep his covenant/
/ and are mindful to perform his charges,/
19/ Yahweh has set his throne firmly in heaven/
/ and his kingly power rules over all.
/(4+3)
20/ Bless Yahweh, you angels of his,/
/ strong and mighty ones who perform his word,/
/ ready to obey his word.
