“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth
thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;
so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.” Psalm 103:2-5, KJV.
