The Book of Psalms

  Psalm 102  

102:1 For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name.
Ipsi David. Benedic, anima mea, Domino, et omnia quæ intra me sunt nomini sancto ejus.

102:2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.
Benedic, anima mea, Domino, et noli oblivisci omnes retributiones ejus.

102:3 Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.
Qui propitiatur omnibus iniquitatibus tuis; qui sanat omnes infirmitates tuas:

102:4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.
qui redimit de interitu vitam tuam; qui coronat te in misericordia et miserationibus:

102:5 Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle's.
qui replet in bonis desiderium tuum; renovabitur ut aquilæ juventus tua:

102:6 The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.
faciens misericordias Dominus, et judicium omnibus injuriam patientibus.

102:7 He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.
Notas fecit vias suas Moysi; filiis Israël voluntates suas.

102:8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful: long-suffering and plenteous in mercy.
Miserator et misericors Dominus: longanimis, et multum misericors.

102:9 He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever.
Non in perpetuum irascetur, neque in æternum comminabitur.

102:10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
Non secundum peccata nostra fecit nobis, neque secundum iniquitates nostras retribuit nobis.

102:11 For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.
Quoniam secundum altitudinem cæli a terra, corroboravit misericordiam suam super timentes se;

102:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our iniquities from us.
quantum distat ortus ab occidente, longe fecit a nobis iniquitates nostras.

102:13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him:
Quomodo miseretur pater filiorum, misertus est Dominus timentibus se.

102:14 for he knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust:
Quoniam ipse cognovit figmentum nostrum; recordatus est quoniam pulvis sumus.

102:15 man's days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.
Homo, sicut fœnum dies ejus; tamquam flos agri, sic efflorebit:

102:16 For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no more.
quoniam spiritus pertransibit in illo, et non subsistet, et non cognoscet amplius locum suum.

102:17 But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him: And his justice unto children's children,
Misericordia autem Domini ab æterno, et usque in æternum super timentes eum. Et justitia illius in filios filiorum,

102:18 to such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.
his qui servant testamentum ejus, et memores sunt mandatorum ipsius ad faciendum ea.

102:19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.
Dominus in cælo paravit sedem suam, et regnum ipsius omnibus dominabitur.

102:20 Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.
Benedicite Domino, omnes angeli ejus: potentes virtute, facientes verbum illius, ad audiendam vocem sermonum ejus.

102:21 Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.
Benedicite Domino, omnes virtutes ejus; ministri ejus, qui facitis voluntatem ejus.

102:22 Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
Benedicite Domino, omnia opera ejus: in omni loco dominationis ejus, benedic, anima mea, Domino.
