Original text and translations

Latin text Benedic anima mea Domino, et noli oblivisci omnes retributiones ejus; qui propitiatur omnibus iniquitatibus tuis, qui sanat omnes infirmitates tuas; Qui redemit de interitu vitam tuam, qui coronat te in misericordia et miserationibus; qui replet in bonis desiderium tuum: faciens judicium omnibus injuriam patientibus. Miserator et misericors Dominus; longanimis et multum misericors. Non in perpetuum irascetur, neque in aeternum comminabitur. Non secundum peccata nostra fecit nobis, neque secundum iniquitates nostras retribuit nobis. Quoniam secundum altitudinem coeli a terra, corroboravit misericordiam suam super timentes se. Ps. CII (vv. 2-5a, 6, 8, 10-11)

English translation Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who heals all thine infirmities. Who redeemeth thy life from the pit, who crowneth thee in mercie and commiserationes. Who replentisheth thy desire in good things, working justice for all who are oppressed. The Lord is pitieful and merciful, long suffering, and very merciful. He will not be angrie always: neither will he threaten forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor requite us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth such is his mercy to those who fear him.
