< Psalmorum 103 >
1 Ipsi David. [Benedic, anima mea, Domino, et omnia quæ intra me sunt nomini sancto ejus.
Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Benedic, anima mea, Domino, et noli oblivisci omnes retributiones ejus.
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Qui propitiatur omnibus iniquitatibus tuis; qui sanat omnes infirmitates tuas:
Who forgives all of your iniquities; who heals all your diseases;
4 qui redimit de interitu vitam tuam; qui coronat te in misericordia et miserationibus:
Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;
5 qui replet in bonis desiderium tuum; renovabitur ut aquilæ juventus tua:
Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 faciens misericordias Dominus, et judicium omnibus injuriam patientibus.
The LORD executes righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 Notas fecit vias suas Moysi; filiis Israël voluntates suas.
He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8 Miserator et misericors Dominus: longanimis, et multum misericors.
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9 Non in perpetuum irascetur, neque in æternum comminabitur.
He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 Non secundum peccata nostra fecit nobis, neque secundum iniquitates nostras retribuit nobis.
He has not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 Quoniam secundum altitudinem cæli a terra, corroboravit misericordiam suam super timentes se;
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 quantum distat ortus ab occidente, longe fecit a nobis iniquitates nostras.
As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Quomodo miseretur pater filiorum, misertus est Dominus timentibus se.
Like a father pities his children, so the LORD pities them that fear him.
14 Quoniam ipse cognovit figmentum nostrum; recordatus est quoniam pulvis sumus.
For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.
15 Homo, sicut fœnum dies ejus; tamquam flos agri, sic efflorebit:
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 quoniam spiritus pertransibit in illo, et non subsistet, et non cognoscet amplius locum suum.
For the wind passes over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 Misericordia autem Domini ab æterno, et usque in æternum super timentes eum. Et justitia illius in filios filiorum,
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
18 his qui servant testamentum ejus, et memores sunt mandatorum ipsius ad faciendum ea.
To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19 Dominus in cælo paravit sedem suam, et regnum ipsius omnibus dominabitur.
The LORD has prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Benedicite Domino, omnes angeli ejus: potentes virtute, facientes verbum illius, ad audiendam vocem sermonum ejus.
Bless the LORD, all of you his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Benedicite Domino, omnes virtutes ejus; ministri ejus, qui facitis voluntatem ejus.
Bless all of you the LORD, all you his hosts; all of you ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22 Benedicite Domino, omnia opera ejus: in omni loco dominationis ejus, benedic, anima mea, Domino.]
Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
