< Psalms 116 >
1 I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications;
alleluia dilexi quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meae
2 For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during [all] my days.
quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi et in diebus meis invocabo te
3 The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow: (Sheol )
circumdederunt me dolores mortis pericula inferni invenerunt me tribulationem et dolorem inveni (Sheol )
4 Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul.
et nomen Domini invocavi o Domine libera animam meam
5 Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful.
misericors Dominus et iustus et Deus noster miseretur
6 Jehovah keepeth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.
custodiens parvulos Dominus humiliatus sum et liberavit me
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.
convertere anima mea in requiem tuam quia Dominus benefecit tibi
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
quia eripuit animam meam de morte oculos meos a lacrimis pedes meos a lapsu
9 I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.
placebo Domino in regione vivorum
10 I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted.
alleluia credidi propter quod locutus sum ego autem humiliatus sum nimis
11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
ego dixi in excessu meo omnis homo mendax
12 What shall I render unto Jehovah, [for] all his benefits toward me?
quid retribuam Domino pro omnibus quae retribuit mihi
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah.
calicem salutaris accipiam et nomen Domini invocabo
14 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people.
vota mea Domino reddam coram omni populo eius
15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.
pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors sanctorum eius
16 Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
o Domine quia ego servus tuus ego servus tuus et filius ancillae tuae disrupisti vincula mea
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.
tibi sacrificabo hostiam laudis et in nomine Domini invocabo
18 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people,
vota mea Domino reddam in conspectu omnis populi eius
19 In the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
in atriis domus Domini in medio tui Hierusalem
