Psalmi 103

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Ipsi David. Benedic, anima mea, Domino : Domine Deus meus, magnificatus es vehementer. Confessionem et decorem induisti,	1 Of David. Bless the LORD, my soul; all my being, bless his holy name!
2 amictus lumine sicut vestimento. Extendens cælum sicut pellem,	2 Bless the LORD, my soul; do not forget all the gifts of God,
3 qui tegis aquis superiora ejus : qui ponis nubem ascensum tuum ; qui ambulas super pennas ventorum :	3 Who pardons all your sins, heals all your ills,
4 qui facis angelos tuos spiritus, et ministros tuos ignem urentem.	4 Delivers your life from the pit, surrounds you with love and compassion,
5 Qui fundasti terram super stabilitatem suam : non inclinabitur in sæculum sæculi.	5 Fills your days with good things; your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 Abyssus sicut vestimentum amictus ejus ; super montes stabunt aquæ.	6 The LORD does righteous deeds, brings justice to all the oppressed.
7 Ab increpatione tua fugient ; a voce tonitrui tui formidabunt.	7 His ways were revealed to Moses, mighty deeds to the people of Israel.
8 Ascendunt montes, et descendunt campi, in locum quem fundasti eis.	8 Merciful and gracious is the LORD, slow to anger, abounding in kindness.
9 Terminum posuisti quem non transgredientur, neque convertentur operire terram.	9 God does not always rebuke, nurses no lasting anger,
10 Qui emittis fontes in convallibus ; inter medium montium pertransibunt aquæ.	10 Has not dealt with us as our sins merit, nor requited us as our deeds deserve.
11 Potabunt omnes bestiæ agri ; expectabunt onagri in siti sua.	11 As the heavens tower over the earth, so God's love towers over the faithful.
12 Super ea volucres cæli habitabunt ; de medio petrarum dabunt voces.	12 As far as the east is from the west, so far have our sins been removed from us.
13 Rigans montes de superioribus suis ; de fructu operum tuorum satiabitur terra :	13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on the faithful.
14 producens f?num jumentis, et herbam servituti hominum, ut educas panem de terra,	14 For he knows how we are formed, remembers that we are dust.
15 et vinum lætificet cor hominis : ut exhilaret faciem in oleo, et panis cor hominis confirmet.	15 Our days are like the grass; like flowers of the field we blossom.
16 Saturabuntur ligna campi, et cedri Libani quas plantavit :	16 The wind sweeps over us and we are gone; our place knows us no more.
17 illic passeres nidificabunt : herodii domus dux est eorum.	17 But the LORD'S kindness is forever, toward the faithful from age to age. He favors the children's children
18 Montes excelsi cervis ; petra refugium herinaciis.	18 of those who keep his covenant, who take care to fulfill its precepts.
19 Fecit lunam in tempora ; sol cognovit occasum suum.	19 The LORD'S throne is established in heaven; God's royal power rules over all.
20 Posuisti tenebras, et facta est nox ; in ipsa pertransibunt omnes bestiæ silvæ :	20 Bless the LORD, all you angels, mighty in strength and attentive, obedient to every command.
21 catuli leonum rugientes ut rapiant, et quærant a Deo escam sibi.	21 Bless the LORD, all you hosts, ministers who do God's will.
22 Ortus est sol, et congregati sunt, et in cubilibus suis collocabuntur.	22 Bless the LORD, all creatures, everywhere in God's domain. Bless the LORD, my soul!
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.
