Psalms 116
1 Alleluia. I have loved: therefore, the Lord will heed the voice of my prayer.
αλληλουια ἠγάπησα ὅτι εἰσακούσεται κύριος τῆς φωνῆς τῆς δεήσεώς μου
2 For he has inclined his ear to me. And in my days, I will call upon him.
ὅτι ἔκλινεν τὸ οὖς αὐτοῦ ἐμοί καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις μου ἐπικαλέσομαι
3 The sorrows of death have surrounded me, and the perils of Hell have found me. I have found tribulation and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
περιέσχον με ὠδῖνες θανάτου κίνδυνοι ᾅδου εὕροσάν με θλῖψιν καὶ ὀδύνην εὗρον (Sheol h7585)
4 And so, I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, free my soul.
καὶ τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου ἐπεκαλεσάμην ὦ κύριε ῥῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου
5 Merciful is the Lord, and just. And our God is compassionate.
ἐλεήμων ὁ κύριος καὶ δίκαιος καὶ ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐλεᾷ
6 The Lord is the keeper of little ones. I was humbled, and he freed me.
φυλάσσων τὰ νήπια ὁ κύριος ἐταπεινώθην καὶ ἔσωσέν με
7 Turn again, my soul, to your rest. For the Lord has done good to you.
ἐπίστρεψον ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὴν ἀνάπαυσίν σου ὅτι κύριος εὐηργέτησέν σε
8 For he has rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from slipping.
ὅτι ἐξείλατο τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ θανάτου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου ἀπὸ δακρύων καὶ τοὺς πόδας μου ἀπὸ ὀλισθήματος
9 I will please the Lord in the land of the living.
εὐαρεστήσω ἐναντίον κυρίου ἐν χώρᾳ ζώντων
10 Alleluia. I had confidence, because of what I was saying, but then I was greatly humbled.
αλληλουια ἐπίστευσα διὸ ἐλάλησα ἐγὼ δὲ ἐταπεινώθην σφόδρα
11 I said in my excess, “Every man is a liar.”
ἐγὼ εἶπα ἐν τῇ ἐκστάσει μου πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ψεύστης
12 What shall I repay to the Lord, for all the things that he has repaid to me?
τί ἀνταποδώσω τῷ κυρίῳ περὶ πάντων ὧν ἀνταπέδωκέν μοι
13 I will take up the cup of salvation, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
ποτήριον σωτηρίου λήμψομαι καὶ τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου ἐπικαλέσομαι
14 I will repay my vows to the Lord, in the sight of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his holy ones.
τίμιος ἐναντίον κυρίου ὁ θάνατος τῶν ὁσίων αὐτοῦ
16 O Lord, because I am your servant, your servant and the son of your handmaid, you have broken my bonds.
ὦ κύριε ἐγὼ δοῦλος σός ἐγὼ δοῦλος σὸς καὶ υἱὸς τῆς παιδίσκης σου διέρρηξας τοὺς δεσμούς μου
17 I will sacrifice to you the sacrifice of praise, and I will invoke the name of the Lord.
σοὶ θύσω θυσίαν αἰνέσεως
18 I will repay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people,
τὰς εὐχάς μου τῷ κυρίῳ ἀποδώσω ἐναντίον παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ
19 in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem.
ἐν αὐλαῖς οἴκου κυρίου ἐν μέσῳ σου Ιερουσαλημ
