Psalms 103:1

Psalms 103:1. Bless the LORD, O my soul: -

Come, my soul, wake up, bestir thyself, for thou hast a great work to do.

Psalms 103:1. And all that is within in me, bless his holy name.

Let no power or faculty exempt itself from this blessed service. Come, many memory, my will, my judgment, my intellect, my heart, all that is me is be stirred up by his holy name to magnify and bless. "Bless the Lord, O my soul," for the music must begin deep down in the center of my being; it must be myself, my inmost self that praises God.
