Psalm 102 Christianity. Orthodoxy. Catholicism. Sense of life. Prayers.
You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;'                but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.                If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.                If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.                'It was also said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,'                but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.                'Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,'                but I tell you, don't swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;                nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.                Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can't make one hair white or black.                But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.                'You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'*                But I tell you, don't resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.                If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.                Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.                Give to him who asks you, and don't turn away him who desires to borrow from you.                'You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor,* and hate your enemy.*'                But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,                that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven.

Psalm 102
   

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me bless His holy Name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all thy sins, Who heals all thy diseases; Who redeems thy life from destruction, Who crowns thee with mercy and compassion; Who satisfies thy desire with good things; thy youth will be renewed like an eagle's. The Lord offers mercy and judgment to all who are wronged. He made known His ways to Moses; His will to the children of Israel. The Lord is compassionate and merciful, long-suffering and of great mercy. He will not always be angry, nor will He threaten for ever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For according to the height of heaven from the earth, has the Lord confirmed His mercy toward those who fear Him. As far as the East is from the West, so far has He set our sins from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. For He knows our mold, He remembers that we are but dust. The days of man are as grass; he flourishes as a flower of the field. Once the spirit in him has passed, he will not exist; and he will know his place no more. But the mercy of the Lord is from all eternity, and continues for ever toward those who fear Him. And His justice is upon their children's children, upon those who keep His covenant and remember His commandments and do them. The Lord has prepared His throne in heaven, and His kingdom embraces all. Bless the Lord, all Angels of His, who are mighty in strength, who do His word and listen to the voice of His orders. Bless the Lord, all His Hosts, you servants of His who do His will. Bless the Lord, all His works, in every place of His dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul.

(And again)
In every place of His dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
