Psalms 103

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Of David. Bless the LORD, my soul; all my being, bless his holy name!	1 For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, my soul; do not forget all the gifts of God,	2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.
3 Who pardons all your sins, heals all your ills,	3 Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.
4 Delivers your life from the pit, surrounds you with love and compassion,	4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.
5 Fills your days with good things; your youth is renewed like the eagle's.	5 Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle's.
6 The LORD does righteous deeds, brings justice to all the oppressed.	6 The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.
7 His ways were revealed to Moses, mighty deeds to the people of Israel.	7 He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.
8 Merciful and gracious is the LORD, slow to anger, abounding in kindness.	8 The ford is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.
9 God does not always rebuke, nurses no lasting anger,	9 He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever.
10 Has not dealt with us as our sins merit, nor requited us as our deeds deserve.	10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 As the heavens tower over the earth, so God's love towers over the faithful.	11 For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far have our sins been removed from us.	12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our iniquities from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on the faithful.	13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him:
14 For he knows how we are formed, remembers that we are dust.	14 for he knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust:
15 Our days are like the grass; like flowers of the field we blossom.	15 man's days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.
16 The wind sweeps over us and we are gone; our place knows us no more.	16 For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no more.
17 But the LORD'S kindness is forever, toward the faithful from age to age. He favors the children's children	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,
18 of those who keep his covenant, who take care to fulfill its precepts.	18 to such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.
19 The LORD'S throne is established in heaven; God's royal power rules over all.	19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.
20 Bless the LORD, all you angels, mighty in strength and attentive, obedient to every command.	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.
21 Bless the LORD, all you hosts, ministers who do God's will.	21 Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.
22 Bless the LORD, all creatures, everywhere in God's domain. Bless the LORD, my soul!	22 Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
