Psalms 116
1 I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice— my appeal for mercy.
Alleluia. I louede `the Lord; for the Lord schal here the vois of my preier.
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live.
For he bowide doun his eere to me; and Y schal inwardli clepe in my daies.
3 The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
The sorewis of deth cumpassiden me; and the perelis of helle founden me. I foond tribulacioun and sorewe; (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, deliver my soul!”
and Y clepide inwardli the name of the Lord. Thou, Lord, delyuere my soule;
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
the Lord is merciful, and iust; and oure God doith merci.
6 The LORD preserves the simplehearted; I was helpless, and He saved me.
And the Lord kepith litle children; Y was mekid, and he delyuerede me.
7 Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
Mi soule, turne thou in to thi reste; for the Lord hath do wel to thee.
8 For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
For he hath delyuered my soule fro deth; myn iyen fro wepingis, my feet fro fallyng doun.
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
I schal plese the Lord; in the cuntrei of hem that lyuen.
10 I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”
I bileuede, for which thing Y spak; forsoth Y was maad low ful myche.
11 In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!”
I seide in my passing; Ech man is a lier.
12 How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me?
What schal Y yelde to the Lord; for alle thingis which he yeldide to me?
13 I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
I schal take the cuppe of heelthe; and Y schal inwardli clepe the name of the Lord.
14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people.
I schal yelde my vowis to the Lord bifor al his puple;
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.
the deth of seyntis of the Lord is precious in his siyt.
16 Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds.
O! Lord, for Y am thi seruant; Y am thi seruaunt, and the sone of thi handmaide. Thou hast broke my bondys,
17 I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.
to thee Y schal offre a sacrifice of heriyng; and Y schal inwardli clepe the name of the Lord.
18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people,
I schal yelde my vowis to the Lord, in the siyt of al his puple;
19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
in the porchis of the hous of the Lord, in the myddil of thee, Jerusalem.
