Bless the LORD who forgives and remembers dust: The self summoned to remember benefits

The soul is ordered to bless and not to forget a list that starts with forgiveness

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 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.

Self-address summons the whole inner life. Benefits are named as God's doings, not as trophies. Forgiveness leads the catalogue. Healing, redeeming, crowning, and satisfying follow as praise. This is not a guarantee of immediate cure, restored youth, or a full mouth for every faithful person, and it is not permission to blame the still-sick or the still-hungry.

Eagle youth is a figure of renewal, not a body program

The eagle image pictures vigor given back. It sits inside blessing, after iniquities forgiven and life redeemed from the pit. The unit will widen toward oppressed people and dust. It should not be frozen as a personal prosperity stanza.

Forget not is the moral edge: memory of mercy, not a technique for collecting more goods. The soul is being trained to tell the truth about gifts already received.
