Psalms 116
1 I love Jehovah because he hears my voice and my supplications.
Alleluia. Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meæ.
2 Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call as long as I live.
Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi: et in diebus meis invocabo.
3 The cords of death encompassed me, and the pains of Sheol got hold upon me. I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
Circumdederunt me dolores mortis: et pericula inferni invenerunt me. Tribulationem et dolorem inveni: (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I called upon the name of Jehovah. O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
et nomen Domini invocavi. O Domine libera animam meam:
5 Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous. Yea, our God is merciful.
misericors Dominus, et iustus: et Deus noster miseretur.
6 Jehovah preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.
Custodiens parvulos Dominus: humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.
7 Return to thy rest, O my soul, for Jehovah has dealt bountifully with thee.
Convertere anima mea in requiem tuam: quia Dominus benefecit tibi.
8 For thou have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
Quia eripuit animam meam de morte: oculos meos a lacrymis, pedes meos a lapsu.
9 I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.
Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.
10 I believed, therefore I have spoken, but I was greatly afflicted.
Alleluia. Credidi, propter quod locutus sum: ego autem humiliatus sum nimis.
11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
Ego dixi in excessu meo: Omnis homo mendax.
12 What shall I render to Jehovah for all his benefits toward me?
Quid retribuam Domino, pro omnibus, quæ retribuit mihi?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah.
Calicem salutaris accipiam: et nomen Domini invocabo.
14 I will pay my vows to Jehovah, yea, in the presence of all his people.
Vota mea Domino reddam coram omni populo eius:
15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his sanctified.
pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors sanctorum eius:
16 O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant. I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid. Thou have loosed my bonds.
O Domine quia ego servus tuus: ego servus tuus, et filius ancillæ tuæ. Dirupisti vincula mea:
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.
tibi sacrificabo hostiam laudis, et nomen Domini invocabo.
18 I will pay my vows to Jehovah, yea, in the presence of all his people,
Vota mea Domino reddam in conspectu omnis populi eius:
19 in the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.
in atriis domus Domini, in medio tui Ierusalem.
