Psalmorum 103
1 ipsi David benedic anima mea Domino et omnia quae intra me sunt nomini sancto eius
“Of David.” Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and all that is within me, his holy name.
2 benedic anima mea Domino et noli oblivisci omnes retributiones eius
Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and forget not all his benefits:
3 qui propitiatur omnibus iniquitatibus tuis qui sanat omnes infirmitates tuas
Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 qui redimit de interitu vitam tuam qui coronat te in misericordia et miserationibus
Who redeemeth from the pit thy life; who crowneth thee with kindness and mercies;
5 qui replet in bonis desiderium tuum renovabitur ut aquilae iuventus tua
Who satisfieth with happiness thy spirit, so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's [plumage].
6 faciens misericordias Dominus et iudicium omnibus iniuriam patientibus
The Lord executeth righteousness, and justice for all that are oppressed.
7 notas fecit vias suas Mosi filiis Israhel voluntates suas
He made known his ways unto Moses, unto the children of Israel his acts.
8 miserator et misericors Dominus longanimis et multum misericors
Merciful and gracious is the Lord, long-suffering and abundant in kindness.
9 non in perpetuum irascetur neque in aeternum comminabitur
Not for all eternity will he contend; nor will he for ever retain his anger.
10 non secundum peccata nostra fecit nobis nec secundum iniustitias nostras retribuit nobis
Not in accordance with our sins hath he dealt with us; nor according to our iniquities hath he requited us.
11 quoniam secundum altitudinem caeli a terra corroboravit misericordiam suam super timentes se
For as high as heaven is above the earth, so mighty is his kindness toward those 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 hath he removed from us our transgressions.
13 quomodo miseretur pater filiorum misertus est Dominus timentibus se
As a father hath mercy on his children, so hath the Lord mercy on those that fear him.
14 quoniam ipse cognovit figmentum nostrum recordatus est quoniam pulvis sumus
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15 homo sicut faenum dies eius tamquam flos agri sic efflorebit
As for man, like the grass are his days: as the blossom of the field, so doth he bloom.
16 quoniam spiritus pertransivit in illo et non subsistet et non cognoscet amplius locum suum
When a wind but passeth over it, it is gone, and its place will recognize it no more.
17 misericordia autem Domini ab aeterno et usque in aeternum super timentes eum et iustitia illius in filios filiorum
But the kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting over those that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,
18 his qui servant testamentum eius et memores sunt mandatorum ipsius ad faciendum ea
To such as keep his covenant, and to those who remember his precepts to execute them.
19 Dominus in caelo paravit sedem suam et regnum ipsius omnibus dominabitur
The Lord hath established in the heavens his throne; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 benedicite Domino angeli eius potentes virtute facientes verbum illius ad audiendam vocem sermonum eius
Bless the Lord, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 benedicite Domino omnes virtutes eius ministri eius qui facitis voluntatem eius
Bless ye the Lord, all his hosts, ye his ministers, that execute 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 the places of his dominion; bless, O my soul, the Lord.
