Psalms 116
1 I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voyce and my prayers.
Alleluja. Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meæ.
2 For he hath inclined his eare vnto me, whe I did call vpon him in my dayes.
Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi, et in diebus meis invocabo.
3 When the snares of death copassed me, and the griefes of the graue caught me: when I founde trouble and sorowe. (Sheol h7585)
Circumdederunt me dolores mortis; et pericula inferni invenerunt me. Tribulationem et dolorem inveni, (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I called vpon the Name of the Lord, saying, I beseech thee, O Lord, deliuer my soule.
et nomen Domini invocavi: o Domine, libera animam meam.
5 The Lord is mercifull and righteous, and our God is full of compassion.
Misericors Dominus et justus, et Deus noster miseretur.
6 The Lord preserueth the simple: I was in miserie and he saued me.
Custodiens parvulos Dominus; humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.
7 Returne vnto thy rest, O my soule: for the Lord hath bene beneficiall vnto thee,
Convertere, anima mea, in requiem tuam, quia Dominus benefecit tibi:
8 Because thou hast deliuered my soule from death, mine eyes from teares, and my feete from falling.
quia eripuit animam meam de morte, oculos meos a lacrimis, pedes meos a lapsu.
9 I shall walke before the Lord in the lande of the liuing.
Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.
10 I beleeued, therefore did I speake: for I was sore troubled.
Alleluja. Credidi, propter quod locutus sum; ego autem humiliatus sum nimis.
11 I said in my feare, All men are lyers.
Ego dixi in excessu meo: Omnis homo mendax.
12 What shall I render vnto the Lord for all his benefites toward me?
Quid retribuam Domino pro omnibus quæ retribuit mihi?
13 I will take the cup of saluation, and call vpon the Name of the Lord.
Calicem salutaris accipiam, et nomen Domini invocabo.
14 I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, euen nowe 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 Saintes.
Pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors sanctorum ejus.
16 Beholde, Lord: for I am thy seruant, I am thy seruant, and the sonne of thine handmaide: thou hast broken my bondes.
O Domine, quia ego servus tuus; ego servus tuus, et filius ancillæ tuæ. Dirupisti vincula mea:
17 I will offer to thee a sacrifice of prayse, and will call vpon the Name of the Lord.
tibi sacrificabo hostiam laudis, et nomen Domini invocabo.
18 I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, euen nowe in the presence of all his people,
Vota mea Domino reddam in conspectu omnis populi ejus;
19 In the courtes of ye Lords house, euen in the middes of thee, O Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
in atriis domus Domini, in medio tui, Jerusalem.
