< Psalmorum 103 >
1 ipsi David benedic anima mea Domino et omnia quae intra me sunt nomini sancto eius
Of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; all that is within me, bless His holy name.
2 benedic anima mea Domino et noli oblivisci omnes retributiones eius
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—
3 qui propitiatur omnibus iniquitatibus tuis qui sanat omnes infirmitates tuas
He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases,
4 qui redimit de interitu vitam tuam qui coronat te in misericordia et miserationibus
who redeems your life from the Pit and crowns you with loving devotion and compassion,
5 qui replet in bonis desiderium tuum renovabitur ut aquilae iuventus tua
who satisfies you with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 faciens misericordias Dominus et iudicium omnibus iniuriam patientibus
The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
7 notas fecit vias suas Mosi filiis Israhel voluntates suas
He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.
8 miserator et misericors Dominus longanimis et multum misericors
The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.
9 non in perpetuum irascetur neque in aeternum comminabitur
He will not always accuse us, nor harbor His anger forever.
10 non secundum peccata nostra fecit nobis nec secundum iniustitias nostras retribuit nobis
He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities.
11 quoniam secundum altitudinem caeli a terra corroboravit misericordiam suam super timentes se
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving devotion for those who 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
As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.
14 quoniam ipse cognovit figmentum nostrum recordatus est quoniam pulvis sumus
For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust.
15 homo sicut faenum dies eius tamquam flos agri sic efflorebit
As for man, his days are like grass— he blooms like a flower of the field;
16 quoniam spiritus pertransivit in illo et non subsistet et non cognoscet amplius locum suum
when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.
17 misericordia autem Domini ab aeterno et usque in aeternum super timentes eum et iustitia illius in filios filiorum
But from everlasting to everlasting the loving devotion of the LORD extends to those who fear Him, and His righteousness to their children’s children—
18 his qui servant testamentum eius et memores sunt mandatorum ipsius ad faciendum ea
to those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.
19 Dominus in caelo paravit sedem suam et regnum ipsius omnibus dominabitur
The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.
20 benedicite Domino angeli eius potentes virtute facientes verbum illius ad audiendam vocem sermonum eius
Bless the LORD, all His angels mighty in strength who carry out His word, who hearken to the voice of His command.
21 benedicite Domino omnes virtutes eius ministri eius qui facitis voluntatem eius
Bless the LORD, all His hosts, you servants who do His will.
22 benedicite Domino omnia opera eius in omni loco dominationis ipsius benedic anima mea Domino
Bless the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!
