The fourth book of Psalms, song 103, Vulgate and King James Version

Psalm 103

Vulgate

   1 David. Benedic, anima mea, Domino, et omnia, quae intra me sunt, nomini sancto eius.
   2 Benedic, anima mea, Domino et noli oblivisci omnes retributiones eius.
   3 Qui propitiatur omnibus iniquitatibus tuis, qui sanat omnes infirmitates tuas;
   4 qui redimit de interitu vitam tuam, qui coronat te in misericordia et miserationibus;
   5 qui replet in bonis aetatem tuam: renovabitur ut aquilae iuventus tua.
   6 Faciens iustitias Dominus et iudicium omnibus iniuriam patientibus.
   7 Notas fecit vias suas Moysi, filiis Israel adinventiones suas. -
   8 Miserator et misericors Dominus, longanimis et multae misericordiae.
   9 Non in perpetuum contendet neque in aeternum irascetur.
   10 Non secundum peccata nostra fecit nobis neque secundum iniquitates nostras retribuit nobis.
   11 Quoniam, quantum exaltatur caelum a terra, praevaluit misericordia eius super timentes eum;
   12 quantum distat ortus ab occidente, longe fecit a nobis iniquitates nostras.
   13 Quomodo miseretur pater filiorum, misertus est Dominus timentibus se.
   14 Quoniam ipse cognovit figmentum nostrum, recordatus est quoniam pulvis sumus.
   15 Homo: sicut fenum dies eius, tamquam flos agri sic efflorebit.
   16 Spirat ventus in illum, et non subsistet, et non cognoscet eum amplius locus eius.
   17 Misericordia autem Domini ab aeterno et usque in aeternum super timentes eum; et iustitia illius in filios filiorum,
   18 in eos, qui servant testamentum eius et memores sunt mandatorum ipsius ad faciendum ea.
   19 Dominus in caelo paravit sedem suam, et regnum ipsius omnibus dominabitur.
   20 Benedicite Domino, omnes angeli eius, potentes virtute, facientes verbum illius in audiendo vocem sermonum eius.
   21 Benedicite Domino, omnes virtutes eius, ministri eius, qui facitis voluntatem eius.
   22 Benedicite Domino, omnia opera eius, in omni loco dominationis eius. Benedic, anima mea, Domino.

King James Version

A Psalm of David.

   1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
   2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
   3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
   4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
   5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
   6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
   7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
   8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
   9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
   10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
   11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
   12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
   13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
   14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
   15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
   16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
   17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
   18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
   19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
   20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
   21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
   22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
