Bless the Lord
Psalm 103:1–5 · Isaiah 12 · Philippians 4:4–7
Read in the order heard — a verse at a time: the Psalm, Isaiah, and Philippians in turn. The dates are spoken where each book first enters.
One thousand, B.C.
Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Seven hundred, B.C.
And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.
Sixty-two, A.D.
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
And in that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.
Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.
