Psalms 116
1 I love Jehovah, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.
alleluia dilexi quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meae
2 Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi et in diebus meis invocabo te
3 The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
circumdederunt me dolores mortis pericula inferni invenerunt me tribulationem et dolorem inveni (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I called on the name of Jehovah: "Jehovah, I beg you, deliver my soul."
et nomen Domini invocavi o Domine libera animam meam
5 Jehovah is Gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.
misericors Dominus et iustus et Deus noster miseretur
6 Jehovah preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.
custodiens parvulos Dominus humiliatus sum et liberavit me
7 Return to your rest, my soul, for Jehovah has dealt bountifully with you.
convertere anima mea in requiem tuam quia Dominus benefecit tibi
8 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and 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 I said, "I am 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 will I give to 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 on the name of Jehovah.
calicem salutaris accipiam et nomen Domini invocabo
14 I will pay my vows to Jehovah, yes, in the presence of all his people.
vota mea Domino reddam coram omni populo eius
15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his faithful ones.
pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors sanctorum eius
16 Jehovah, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains.
o Domine quia ego servus tuus ego servus tuus et filius ancillae tuae disrupisti vincula mea
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the name of Jehovah.
tibi sacrificabo hostiam laudis et in nomine Domini invocabo
18 I will pay my vows to Jehovah, yes, in the presence of all his people,
vota mea Domino reddam in conspectu omnis populi eius
19 in the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of you, Jerusalem. Praise JAH.
in atriis domus Domini in medio tui Hierusalem
