1Di Davide. Benedici, anima mia, il Signore; e tutto quello che è in me, benedica il suo santo nome.2Benedici, anima mia, il Signore e non dimenticare nessuno dei suoi benefici.3Egli perdona tutte le tue colpe, risana tutte le tue infermità;4salva la tua vita dalla fossa, ti corona di bontà e compassioni;5egli sazia di beni la tua esistenza e ti fa ringiovanire come l’aquila.6Il Signore agisce con giustizia e difende tutti gli oppressi.7Egli fece conoscere le sue vie a Mosè e le sue opere ai figli d’Israele.8Il Signore è pietoso e clemente, lento all’ira e ricco di bontà.9Egli non contesta in eterno, né serba la sua ira per sempre.10Egli non ci tratta secondo i nostri peccati e non ci castiga in proporzione alle nostre colpe.11Come i cieli sono alti al di sopra della terra, così è grande la sua bontà verso quelli che lo temono.12Come è lontano l’oriente dall’occidente, così ha egli allontanato da noi le nostre colpe.13Come un padre è pietoso verso i suoi figli, così è pietoso il Signore verso quelli che lo temono.14Poiché egli conosce la nostra natura; egli si ricorda che siamo polvere.15I giorni dell’uomo sono come l’erba; egli fiorisce come il fiore dei campi;16se lo raggiunge un colpo di vento, esso non esiste più e non si riconosce più il luogo dov’era.17Ma la bontà del Signore è senza fine per quelli che lo temono, e la sua misericordia per i figli dei loro figli,18per quelli che custodiscono il suo patto e si ricordano di mettere in pratica i suoi comandamenti.19Il Signore ha stabilito il suo trono nei cieli e il suo dominio si estende su tutto.20Benedite il Signore, voi suoi angeli, potenti e forti, che fate ciò che egli dice, ubbidienti alla voce della sua parola!21Benedite il Signore, voi tutti gli eserciti suoi, che siete suoi ministri e fate ciò che egli gradisce!22Benedite il Signore, voi tutte le opere sue, in tutti i luoghi del suo dominio! Anima mia, benedici il Signore!
1Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! (Sal 103,22; Sal 104,1)2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, (De 6,12; De 8,11; Sal 103,1)3who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, (Eso 15,26; Eso 34,7; Sal 107,20; Sal 147,3; Is 33,24; Mat 8,17; Mat 9,2; Mar 2,5; Lu 7,47)4who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, (Sal 5,12; Sal 56,13)5who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. (Sal 107,9; Is 40,31)6The LORD works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed. (Sal 146,7)7He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel. (Eso 33,13; Eso 34,10; Sal 25,4; Sal 78,11)8The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. (Sal 86,15)9He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. (Sal 30,5; Is 57,16; Ger 3,5; Ger 3,12; Mi 7,18)10He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. (Esd 9,13)11For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; (Sal 36,5; Sal 103,13; Sal 117,2; Lu 1,50)12as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. (Is 38,17; Is 43,25; Mi 7,19)13As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him. (Sal 103,11; Mal 3,17)14For he knows our frame;[1] he remembers that we are dust. (Sal 78,39)15As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; (Giob 14,2; Sal 90,5)16for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more. (Giob 7,10; Sal 37,36; Is 40,7)17But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children, (Eso 20,5; Eso 20,6; Sal 25,6; Sal 103,11)18to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments. (De 7,9; Sal 19,8)19The LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all. (Sal 11,4; Sal 47,2; Sal 93,2; Da 4,17)20Bless the LORD, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word! (Sal 78,25; Sal 148,2; Mat 6,10; Lu 2,13)21Bless the LORD, all his hosts, his ministers, who do his will! (Gen 32,2; Gios 5,14; 1Re 22,19; Sal 104,4; Da 7,10; Eb 1,14)22Bless the LORD, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul! (Sal 103,1; Sal 145,10)
Salmo 103
King James Version
1A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;5Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle'.6The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.7He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.8The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.9He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.10He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.11For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.12As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.13Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.14For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.15As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.16For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.17But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children' children;18To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.19The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.20Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.21Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.22Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
