1 Of David. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let everything in me give praise to his holy name.2 Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let not all his blessings go from your memory.3 He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases;4 He keeps back your life from destruction, crowning you with mercy and grace.5 He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's.6 The Lord gives decisions in righteousness for all who are in trouble.7 He gave knowledge of his way to Moses, and made his acts clear to the children of Israel.8 The Lord is kind and full of pity, not quickly made angry, but ever ready to have mercy.9 His feeling will no longer be bitter; he will not keep his wrath for ever.10 He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing.11 For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers.12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us.13 As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.14 For he has knowledge of our feeble frame; he sees that we are only dust.15 As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field.16 The wind goes over it and it is gone; and its place sees it no longer.17 But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness;18 If they keep his agreement, and have his laws in mind to do them.19 The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all.20 Give praise to the Lord, you his angels, who are great in strength, doing his orders, and waiting for his voice.21 Give praise to the Lord, all you his armies; and you his servants who do his pleasure.22 Give praise to the Lord, all his works, in all places under his rule: give praise to the Lord, O my soul.

1 Ipsi David. [Benedic, anima mea, Domino :Domine Deus meus, magnificatus es vehementer.Confessionem et decorem induisti,2 amictus lumine sicut vestimento.Extendens clum sicut pellem,3 qui tegis aquis superiora ejus :qui ponis nubem ascensum tuum ;qui ambulas super pennas ventorum :4 qui facis angelos tuos spiritus,et ministros tuos ignem urentem.5 Qui fundasti terram super stabilitatem suam :non inclinabitur in sculum sculi.6 Abyssus sicut vestimentum amictus ejus ;super montes stabunt aqu.7 Ab increpatione tua fugient ;a voce tonitrui tui formidabunt.8 Ascendunt montes, et descendunt campi,in locum quem fundasti eis.9 Terminum posuisti quem non transgredientur,neque convertentur operire terram.10 Qui emittis fontes in convallibus ;inter medium montium pertransibunt aqu.11 Potabunt omnes besti agri ;expectabunt onagri in siti sua.12 Super ea volucres cli habitabunt ;de medio petrarum dabunt voces.13 Rigans montes de superioribus suis ;de fructu operum tuorum satiabitur terra :14 producens fnum jumentis,et herbam servituti hominum,ut educas panem de terra,15 et vinum ltificet 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 besti silv :21 catuli leonum rugientes ut rapiant,et qurant 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 expectantut 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 terr.31 Sit gloria Domini in sculum ;ltabitur 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.]
