Min sjel, lov Herren. Alt som i meg er, lov Hans hellige navn! Min sjel, lov Herren, og glem ikke alt det gode Han har gjort! Han som tilgir all din synd og som helbreder alle dine sykdommer. Han som befrir ditt liv fra en evig død og som kroner deg med godhet og inderlig barmhjertighet. Han som metter din sjel med det som er godt, så du blir ung igjen som ørnen.
