< Psalms 116 >
1 I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voyce and my prayers.
Alleluia. Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meae.
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 )
Circumdederunt me dolores mortis: et pericula inferni invenerunt me. Tribulationem et dolorem inveni: (Sheol )
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 iustus, 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 lacrymis, 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.
Alleluia. 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, quae 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 eius:
15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saintes.
pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors Sanctorum eius:
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 ancillae tuae. 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 eius:
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 Ierusalem.
