Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul. Bless the Lord, all his works - Let every thing he has done be so considered as to show forth his praise.
Bless the Lord, O my soul - Let me never forget my obligation to his mercy; for with tender mercies and loving-kindness has he crowned me. I will therefore be thankful unto him, and speak good of his name.
Commentary on the Bible, by Adam Clarke [1831].
