Psalms 116
1 I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice— my appeal for mercy.
Alleluja. [Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meæ.
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live.
Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi, et in diebus meis invocabo.
3 The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
Circumdederunt me dolores mortis; et pericula inferni invenerunt me. Tribulationem et dolorem inveni, (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, deliver my soul!”
et nomen Domini invocavi: o Domine, libera animam meam.
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
Misericors Dominus et justus, et Deus noster miseretur.
6 The LORD preserves the simplehearted; I was helpless, and He saved me.
Custodiens parvulos Dominus; humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.
7 Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
Convertere, anima mea, in requiem tuam, quia Dominus benefecit tibi:
8 For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
quia eripuit animam meam de morte, oculos meos a lacrimis, pedes meos a lapsu.
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.]
10 I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”
Alleluja. [Credidi, propter quod locutus sum; ego autem humiliatus sum nimis.
11 In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!”
Ego dixi in excessu meo: Omnis homo mendax.
12 How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me?
Quid retribuam Domino pro omnibus quæ retribuit mihi?
13 I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
Calicem salutaris accipiam, et nomen Domini invocabo.
14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people.
Vota mea Domino reddam coram omni populo ejus.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.
Pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors sanctorum ejus.
16 Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds.
O Domine, quia ego servus tuus; ego servus tuus, et filius ancillæ tuæ. Dirupisti vincula mea:
17 I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.
tibi sacrificabo hostiam laudis, et nomen Domini invocabo.
18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people,
Vota mea Domino reddam in conspectu omnis populi ejus;
19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
in atriis domus Domini, in medio tui, Jerusalem.]
