Catholic Public Domain Bible	New American Bible
¹ To David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and bless his holy name, all that is within me.	¹ The prayer of one afflicted and wasting away whose anguish is poured out before the LORD.
² Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his recompenses.	² LORD, hear my prayer; let my cry come to you.
³ He forgives all your iniquities. He heals all your infirmities.	³ Do not hide your face from me now that I am in distress. Turn your ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly.
⁴ He redeems your life from destruction. He crowns you with mercy and compassion.	⁴ For my days vanish like smoke; my bones burn away as in a furnace.
⁵ He satisfies your desire with good things. Your youth will be renewed like that of the eagle.	⁵ I am withered, dried up like grass, too wasted to eat my food.
⁶ The Lord accomplishes mercies, and his judgment is for all who patiently endure injuries.	⁶ From my loud groaning I become just skin and bones.
⁷ He has made his ways known to Moses, his will to the sons of Israel.	⁷ I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.
⁸ The Lord is compassionate and merciful, patient and full of mercy.	⁸ I lie awake and moan, like a lone sparrow on the roof.
⁹ He will not be angry forever, and he will not threaten for eternity.	⁹ All day long my enemies taunt me; in their rage, they make my name a curse.
¹⁰ He has not dealt with us according to our sins, and he has not repaid us according to our iniquities.	¹⁰ I eat ashes like bread, mingle my drink with tears.
¹¹ For according to the height of the heavens above the earth, so has he reinforced his mercy toward those who fear him.	¹¹ Because of your furious wrath, you lifted me up just to cast me down.
¹² As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our iniquities from us.	¹² My days are like a lengthening shadow; I wither like the grass.
¹³ As a father is compassionate to his sons, so has the Lord been compassionate to those who fear him.	¹³ But you, LORD, are enthroned forever; your renown is for all generations.
¹⁴ For he knows our form. He has called to mind that we are dust.	¹⁴ You will again show mercy to Zion; now is the time for pity; the appointed time has come.
¹⁵ Man: his days are like hay. Like the flower of the field, so will he flourish.	¹⁵ Its stones are dear to your servants; its dust moves them to pity.
¹⁶ For the spirit in him will pass away, and it will not remain, and he will know his place no longer.	¹⁶ The nations shall revere your name, LORD, all the kings of the earth, your glory,
¹⁷ But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity, and even unto eternity, upon those who fear him. And his justice is with the sons of the sons,	¹⁷ Once the LORD has rebuilt Zion and appeared in glory,
¹⁸ with those who serve his covenant and have been mindful of his commandments by doing them.	¹⁸ Heeding the plea of the lowly, not scorning their prayer.
¹⁹ The Lord has prepared his throne in heaven, and his kingdom will rule over all.	¹⁹ Let this be written for the next generation, for a people not yet born, that they may praise the LORD:
²⁰ Bless the Lord, all you his Angels: powerful in virtue, doing his word, in order to heed the voice of his discourse.	²⁰ "The LORD looked down from the holy heights, viewed the earth from heaven,
²¹ Bless the Lord, all his hosts: his ministers who do his will.	²¹ To attend to the groaning of the prisoners, to release those doomed to die."
²² Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul.	²² Then the LORD'S name will be declared on Zion, the praise of God in Jerusalem,
	²³ When all peoples and kingdoms gather to worship the LORD.
	²⁴ God has shattered my strength in mid-course, has cut short my days.
	²⁵ I plead, O my God, do not take me in the midst of my days. Your years last through all generations.
	²⁶ Of old you laid the earth's foundations; the heavens are the work of your hands.
	²⁷ They perish, but you remain; they all wear out like a garment; Like clothing you change them and they are changed,
	²⁸ but you are the same, your years have no end.
	²⁹ May the children of your servants live on; may their descendants live in your presence.
