Psalms 116
1 Alleluia. I am well pleased, because the Lord will listen to the voice of my supplication.
Alleluja. Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meæ.
2 Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him while I live.
Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi, et in diebus meis invocabo.
3 The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me: I found affliction and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
Circumdederunt me dolores mortis; et pericula inferni invenerunt me. Tribulationem et dolorem inveni, (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I called on the name of the Lord: O Lord, deliver my soul.
et nomen Domini invocavi: o Domine, libera animam meam.
5 The Lord is merciful and righteous; yes, our God has pity.
Misericors Dominus et justus, et Deus noster miseretur.
6 The Lord preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he delivered me.
Custodiens parvulos Dominus; humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.
7 Return to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
Convertere, anima mea, in requiem tuam, quia Dominus benefecit tibi:
8 For he has delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
quia eripuit animam meam de morte, oculos meos a lacrimis, pedes meos a lapsu.
9 I shall be well-pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living.
Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.
10 Alleluia. I believed, therefore I have spoken: but I was greatly afflicted.
Alleluja. Credidi, propter quod locutus sum; ego autem humiliatus sum nimis.
11 And I said in mine amazement, Every man is a liar.
Ego dixi in excessu meo: Omnis homo mendax.
12 What shall I render to the Lord for all the things wherein he has rewarded me?
Quid retribuam Domino pro omnibus quæ retribuit mihi?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
Calicem salutaris accipiam, et nomen Domini invocabo.
14 I will pay my vows to the Lord, 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 O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have burst by bonds asunder.
O Domine, quia ego servus tuus; ego servus tuus, et filius ancillæ tuæ. Dirupisti vincula mea:
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of praise, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
tibi sacrificabo hostiam laudis, et nomen Domini invocabo.
18 I will pay my vows to the Lord, 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 you, Jerusalem.
in atriis domus Domini, in medio tui, Jerusalem.
