1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

102:1 Ipsi David. Benedic, anima mea, Domino,
et omnia quæ intra me sunt nomini sancto ejus.

2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

2 Benedic, anima mea, Domino,
et noli oblivisci omnes retributiones ejus.

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

3 Qui propitiatur omnibus iniquitatibus tuis;
qui sanat omnes infirmitates tuas:

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

4 qui redimit de interitu vitam tuam;
qui coronat te in misericordia et miserationibus:

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

5 qui replet in bonis desiderium tuum;
renovabitur ut aquilæ juventus tua:

6 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

6 faciens misericordias Dominus,
et judicium omnibus injuriam patientibus.

7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

7 Notas fecit vias suas Moysi;
filiis Israël voluntates suas.

8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

8 Miserator et misericors Dominus:
longanimis, et multum misericors.

9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

9 Non in perpetuum irascetur,
neque in æternum comminabitur.

10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

10 Non secundum peccata nostra fecit nobis,
neque secundum iniquitates nostras retribuit nobis.

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

11 Quoniam secundum altitudinem cæli a terra,
corroboravit misericordiam suam super timentes se;

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

12 quantum distat ortus ab occidente,
longe fecit a nobis iniquitates nostras.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

13 Quomodo miseretur pater filiorum,
misertus est Dominus timentibus se.

14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

14 Quoniam ipse cognovit figmentum nostrum;
recordatus est quoniam pulvis sumus.

15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

15 Homo, sicut fœnum dies ejus;
tamquam flos agri, sic efflorebit:

16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

16 quoniam spiritus pertransibit in illo, et non subsistet,
et non cognoscet amplius locum suum.

17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

17 Misericordia autem Domini ab æterno,
et usque in æternum super timentes eum.
Et justitia illius in filios filiorum,

18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

18 his qui servant testamentum ejus,
et memores sunt mandatorum ipsius ad faciendum ea.

19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

19 Dominus in cælo paravit sedem suam,
et regnum ipsius omnibus dominabitur.

20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

20 Benedicite Domino, omnes angeli ejus:
potentes virtute, facientes verbum illius,
ad audiendam vocem sermonum ejus.

21 Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

21 Benedicite Domino, omnes virtutes ejus;
ministri ejus, qui facitis voluntatem ejus.

22 Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.

22 Benedicite Domino, omnia opera ejus:
in omni loco dominationis ejus,
benedic, anima mea, Domino.
