Bless the Lord, oh my soul, bless his holy name, bless the Lord, oh my soul. He's talking to himself, and he's reminding himself, all of his self, to give thanks and praise to the Lord. But the healing of the disease here that is being referred to is the disease that we have, and that is the disease of sin healed through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. David then, talking to himself, blessed the Lord, all my soul, do not forget his benefits, forgiveness, second healing. The promise here, the benefit that David reminds himself of to give thanks for is the redemption from the very grave, the very fact that he will live body and soul in heaven. Thank you, Lord, for the strength that is ours, that you renew us to be as strong as an eagle, that you take us beyond ourselves and you give us of a strength to live, so that we can live as you created us to live in radical absolute dependency upon you, as we receive the strength to live.
