Psalms 116
1 Alleluia. I have loved: therefore, the Lord will heed the voice of my prayer.
alleluia dilexi quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meae
2 For he has inclined his ear to me. And in my days, I will call upon him.
quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi et in diebus meis invocabo te
3 The sorrows of death have surrounded me, and the perils of Hell have found me. I have found tribulation and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
circumdederunt me dolores mortis pericula inferni invenerunt me tribulationem et dolorem inveni (Sheol h7585)
4 And so, I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, free my soul.
et nomen Domini invocavi o Domine libera animam meam
5 Merciful is the Lord, and just. And our God is compassionate.
misericors Dominus et iustus et Deus noster miseretur
6 The Lord is the keeper of little ones. I was humbled, and he freed me.
custodiens parvulos Dominus humiliatus sum et liberavit me
7 Turn again, my soul, to your rest. For the Lord has done good to you.
convertere anima mea in requiem tuam quia Dominus benefecit tibi
8 For he has rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from slipping.
quia eripuit animam meam de morte oculos meos a lacrimis pedes meos a lapsu
9 I will please the Lord in the land of the living.
placebo Domino in regione vivorum
10 Alleluia. I had confidence, because of what I was saying, but then I was greatly humbled.
alleluia credidi propter quod locutus sum ego autem humiliatus sum nimis
11 I said in my excess, “Every man is a liar.”
ego dixi in excessu meo omnis homo mendax
12 What shall I repay to the Lord, for all the things that he has repaid to me?
quid retribuam Domino pro omnibus quae retribuit mihi
13 I will take up the cup of salvation, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
calicem salutaris accipiam et nomen Domini invocabo
14 I will repay my vows to the Lord, in the sight 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 holy ones.
pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors sanctorum eius
16 O Lord, because I am your servant, your servant and the son of your handmaid, you have broken my bonds.
o Domine quia ego servus tuus ego servus tuus et filius ancillae tuae disrupisti vincula mea
17 I will sacrifice to you the sacrifice of praise, and I will invoke the name of the Lord.
tibi sacrificabo hostiam laudis et in nomine Domini invocabo
18 I will repay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people,
vota mea Domino reddam in conspectu omnis populi eius
19 in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem.
in atriis domus Domini in medio tui Hierusalem
