103 Ipsi David. Benedic, anima mea, Domino: Domine Deus meus, magnificatus es vehementer. Confessionem et decorem induisti,

amictus lumine sicut vestimento. Extendens caelum sicut pellem,

qui tegis aquis superiora ejus: qui ponis nubem ascensum tuum; qui ambulas super pennas ventorum:

qui facis angelos tuos spiritus, et ministros tuos ignem urentem.

Qui fundasti terram super stabilitatem suam: non inclinabitur in saeculum saeculi.

Abyssus sicut vestimentum amictus ejus; super montes stabunt aquae.

Ab increpatione tua fugient; a voce tonitrui tui formidabunt.

Ascendunt montes, et descendunt campi, in locum quem fundasti eis.

Terminum posuisti quem non transgredientur, neque convertentur operire terram.

10 Qui emittis fontes in convallibus; inter medium montium pertransibunt aquae.

11 Potabunt omnes bestiae agri; expectabunt onagri in siti sua.

12 Super ea volucres caeli habitabunt; de medio petrarum dabunt voces.

13 Rigans montes de superioribus suis; de fructu operum tuorum satiabitur terra:

14 producens foenum jumentis, et herbam servituti hominum, ut educas panem de terra,

15 et vinum laetificet cor hominis: ut exhilaret faciem in oleo, et panis cor hominis confirmet.

16 Saturabuntur ligna campi, et cedri Libani quas plantavit:

17 illic passeres nidificabunt: herodii domus dux est eorum.

18 Montes excelsi cervis; petra refugium herinaciis.

19 Fecit lunam in tempora; sol cognovit occasum suum.

20 Posuisti tenebras, et facta est nox; in ipsa pertransibunt omnes bestiae silvae:

21 catuli leonum rugientes ut rapiant, et quaerant a Deo escam sibi.

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 terrae.

31 Sit gloria Domini in saeculum; laetabitur 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.

Psalm 103

Of David.

Praise the Lord,(A) my soul;(B)
    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.(C)
Praise the Lord,(D) my soul,
    and forget not(E) all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins(F)
    and heals(G) all your diseases,
who redeems your life(H) from the pit
    and crowns you with love and compassion,(I)
who satisfies(J) your desires with good things
    so that your youth is renewed(K) like the eagle’s.(L)

The Lord works righteousness(M)
    and justice for all the oppressed.(N)

He made known(O) his ways(P) to Moses,
    his deeds(Q) to the people of Israel:
The Lord is compassionate and gracious,(R)
    slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse,
    nor will he harbor his anger forever;(S)
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve(T)
    or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love(U) for those who fear him;(V)
12 as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions(W) from us.

13 As a father has compassion(X) on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,(Y)
    he remembers that we are dust.(Z)
15 The life of mortals is like grass,(AA)
    they flourish like a flower(AB) of the field;
16 the wind blows(AC) over it and it is gone,
    and its place(AD) remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
    the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
    and his righteousness with their children’s children(AE)
18 with those who keep his covenant(AF)
    and remember(AG) to obey his precepts.(AH)

19 The Lord has established his throne(AI) in heaven,
    and his kingdom rules(AJ) over all.

20 Praise the Lord,(AK) you his angels,(AL)
    you mighty ones(AM) who do his bidding,(AN)
    who obey his word.
21 Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,(AO)
    you his servants(AP) who do his will.
22 Praise the Lord, all his works(AQ)
    everywhere in his dominion.

Praise the Lord, my soul.(AR)
