Psalms 103

DOUAI-RHEIMS	VULGATA
1 For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name.	1 Ipsi David. Benedic, anima mea, Domino : Domine Deus meus, magnificatus es vehementer. Confessionem et decorem induisti,
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.	2 amictus lumine sicut vestimento. Extendens cælum sicut pellem,
3 Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.	3 qui tegis aquis superiora ejus : qui ponis nubem ascensum tuum ; qui ambulas super pennas ventorum :
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.	4 qui facis angelos tuos spiritus, et ministros tuos ignem urentem.
5 Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle's.	5 Qui fundasti terram super stabilitatem suam : non inclinabitur in sæculum sæculi.
6 The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.	6 Abyssus sicut vestimentum amictus ejus ; super montes stabunt aquæ.
7 He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.	7 Ab increpatione tua fugient ; a voce tonitrui tui formidabunt.
8 The ford is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.	8 Ascendunt montes, et descendunt campi, in locum quem fundasti eis.
9 He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever.	9 Terminum posuisti quem non transgredientur, neque convertentur operire terram.
10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.	10 Qui emittis fontes in convallibus ; inter medium montium pertransibunt aquæ.
11 For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.	11 Potabunt omnes bestiæ agri ; expectabunt onagri in siti sua.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our iniquities from us.	12 Super ea volucres cæli habitabunt ; de medio petrarum dabunt voces.
13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him:	13 Rigans montes de superioribus suis ; de fructu operum tuorum satiabitur terra :
14 for he knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust:	14 producens f?num jumentis, et herbam servituti hominum, ut educas panem de terra,
15 man's days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.	15 et vinum lætificet cor hominis : ut exhilaret faciem in oleo, et panis cor hominis confirmet.
16 For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no more.	16 Saturabuntur ligna campi, et cedri Libani quas plantavit :
17 But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him: And his justice unto children's children,	17 illic passeres nidificabunt : herodii domus dux est eorum.
18 to such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.	18 Montes excelsi cervis ; petra refugium herinaciis.
19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.	19 Fecit lunam in tempora ; sol cognovit occasum suum.
20 Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.	20 Posuisti tenebras, et facta est nox ; in ipsa pertransibunt omnes bestiæ silvæ :
21 Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.	21 catuli leonum rugientes ut rapiant, et quærant a Deo escam sibi.
22 Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.	22 Ortus est sol, et congregati sunt, et in cubilibus suis collocabuntur.
	23 Exibit homo ad opus suum, et ad operationem suam usque ad vesperum.
	24 Quam magnificata sunt opera tua, Domine ! omnia in sapientia fecisti ; impleta est terra possessione tua.
	25 Hoc mare magnum et spatiosum manibus ; illic reptilia quorum non est numerus : animalia pusilla cum magnis.
	26 Illic naves pertransibunt ; draco iste quem formasti ad illudendum ei.
	27 Omnia a te expectant ut des illis escam in tempore.
	28 Dante te illis, colligent ; aperiente te manum tuam, omnia implebuntur bonitate.
	29 Avertente autem te faciem, turbabuntur ; auferes spiritum eorum, et deficient, et in pulverem suum revertentur.
	30 Emittes spiritum tuum, et creabuntur, et renovabis faciem terræ.
	31 Sit gloria Domini in sæculum ; lætabitur Dominus in operibus suis.
	32 Qui respicit terram, et facit eam tremere ; qui tangit montes, et fumigant.
	33 Cantabo Domino in vita mea ; psallam Deo meo quamdiu sum.
	34 Jucundum sit ei eloquium meum ; ego vero delectabor in Domino.
	35 Deficiant peccatores a terra, et iniqui, ita ut non sint. Benedic, anima mea, Domino.
