Psalms 116
1 I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice— my appeal for mercy.
Alleluia. 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 iustus: 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 lacrymis, 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.”
Alleluia. 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 eius:
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.
pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors sanctorum eius:
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 eius:
19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
in atriis domus Domini, in medio tui Ierusalem.
