स्तोत्र ग्रन्थ 103

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

2Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.

3Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.

4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.

5Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle’s.

6The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.

7He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.

8The ford is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.

9He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever.

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

11For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.

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

13As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him:

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

15Man’s days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.

16For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no more.

17But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him: And his justice unto children’s children,

18To such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.

19The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.

20Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.

21Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.

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

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

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

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

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

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

6faciens misericordias Dominus, et judicium omnibus injuriam patientibus.

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

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

9Non in perpetuum irascetur, neque in æternum comminabitur.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his recompenses.

3He forgives all your iniquities. He heals all your infirmities.

4He redeems your life from destruction. He crowns you with mercy and compassion.

5He satisfies your desire with good things. Your youth will be renewed like that of the eagle.

6The Lord accomplishes mercies, and his judgment is for all who patiently endure injuries.

7He has made his ways known to Moses, his will to the sons of Israel.

8The Lord is compassionate and merciful, patient and full of mercy.

9He will not be angry forever, and he will not threaten for eternity.

10He has not dealt with us according to our sins, and he has not repaid us according to our iniquities.

11For according to the height of the heavens above the earth, so has he reinforced his mercy toward those who fear him.

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

13As a father is compassionate to his sons, so has the Lord been compassionate to those who fear him.

14For he knows our form. He has called to mind that we are dust.

15Man: his days are like hay. Like the flower of the field, so will he flourish.

16For the spirit in him will pass away, and it will not remain, and he will know his place no longer.

17But 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,

18with those who serve his covenant and have been mindful of his commandments by doing them.

19The Lord has prepared his throne in heaven, and his kingdom will rule over all.

20Bless the Lord, all you his Angels: powerful in virtue, doing his word, in order to heed the voice of his discourse.

21Bless the Lord, all his hosts: his ministers who do his will.

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