< Psalms 116 >

1 I love that the LORD should hear my voice and my supplications.
Alleluja. Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meæ.
2 Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him all my days.
Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi, et in diebus meis invocabo.
3 The cords of death compassed me, and the straits of the nether-world got hold upon me; I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
Circumdederunt me dolores mortis; et pericula inferni invenerunt me. Tribulationem et dolorem inveni, (Sheol h7585)
4 But I called upon the name of the LORD: 'I beseech thee, O LORD, deliver my soul.'
et nomen Domini invocavi: o Domine, libera animam meam.
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is compassionate.
Misericors Dominus et justus, et Deus noster miseretur.
6 The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.
Custodiens parvulos Dominus; humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.
7 Return, O my soul, unto Thy rest; for the LORD 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, and my feet from stumbling.
quia eripuit animam meam de morte, oculos meos a lacrimis, pedes meos a lapsu.
9 I shall walk before the LORD in the lands of the living.
Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.
10 I trusted even when I spoke: 'I am greatly afflicted.'
Alleluja. 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 How can I repay unto the LORD all His bountiful dealings toward me?
Quid retribuam Domino pro omnibus quæ retribuit mihi?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
Calicem salutaris accipiam, et nomen Domini invocabo.
14 My vows will I pay unto the LORD, yea, 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 saints.
Pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors sanctorum ejus.
16 I beseech Thee, O LORD, for I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bands.
O Domine, quia ego servus tuus; ego servus tuus, et filius ancillæ tuæ. Dirupisti vincula mea:
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
tibi sacrificabo hostiam laudis, et nomen Domini invocabo.
18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all His people;
Vota mea Domino reddam in conspectu omnis populi ejus;
19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
in atriis domus Domini, in medio tui, Jerusalem.
