Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Praise the LORD, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!
1For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great. Thou hast put on praise and beauty:
2Praise the LORD, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits,
2And art clothed with light as with a garment. Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion:
3who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,
3Who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water. Who makest the clouds thy chariot: who walkest upon the wings of the winds.
4who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,
4Who makest thy angels spirits: and thy ministers a burning fire.
5who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
5Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: it shall not be moved for ever and ever.
6The LORD executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.
6The deep like a garment is its clothing: above the mountains shall the waters stand.
7He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel.
7At thy rebuke they shall flee: at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.
8The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
8The mountains ascend, and the plains descend into the place which thou hast founded for them.
9He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
9Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; neither shall they return to cover the earth.
10He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.
10Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.
11For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
11All the beasts of the field shall drink: the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.
12As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
12Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.
13Like a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
13Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:
14For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
14Bringing forth grass for cattle, and herb for the service of men. That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth:
15As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
15And that wine may cheer the heart of man. That he may make the face cheerful with oil: and that bread may strengthen man’s heart.
16For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.
16The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted:
17But the LORD’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children,
17There the sparrows shall make their nests. The highest of them is the house of the heron.
18to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.
18The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins.
19The LORD has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
19He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
20Praise the LORD, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.
20Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about:
21Praise the LORD, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
21The young lions roaring after their prey, and seeking their meat from God.
22Praise the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul!
22The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: and they shall lie down in their dens.
