< Psalms 116 >
1 I rejoice that the LORD hath heard the voice of my supplication,
Alleluia. Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meae.
2 That he hath inclined his ear to me and heard me; I will call upon him as long as I live.
Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi: et in diebus meis invocabo.
3 The snares of death encompassed me, And the pains of the underworld seized upon me; I found distress and sorrow. (Sheol )
Circumdederunt me dolores mortis: et pericula inferni invenerunt me. Tribulationem et dolorem inveni: (Sheol )
4 Then called I upon the LORD: O LORD! deliver me!
et nomen Domini invocavi. O Domine libera animam meam:
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful.
misericors Dominus, et iustus, et Deus noster miseretur.
6 The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and he helped me.
Custodiens parvulos Dominus: humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.
7 Return, O my soul! to thy rest! For the LORD hath dealt kindly with thee.
Convertere anima mea in requiem tuam: quia Dominus benefecit tibi.
8 For thou hast preserved me from death; Thou hast kept mine eyes from tears, And my feet from falling!
Quia eripuit animam meam de morte: oculos meos a lacrymis, pedes meos a lapsu.
9 I shall walk before the LORD, In the land of the living.
Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.
10 I had trust, although I said, “I am grievously afflicted!”
Alleluia. Credidi, propter quod locutus sum: ego autem humiliatus sum nimis.
11 I said in my distress, “All men are liars.”
Ego dixi in excessu meo: Omnis homo mendax.
12 What shall I render to the LORD For all his benefits to me?
Quid retribuam Domino, pro omnibus, quae 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 eius:
15 Precious in the eyes of the LORD Is the death of his holy ones.
pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors Sanctorum eius:
16 Hear, O LORD! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid! Thou hast loosed my bonds.
O Domine quia ego servus tuus: ego servus tuus, et filius ancillae tuae. 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 to the LORD In the presence of all his people,
Vota mea Domino reddam in conspectu omnis populi eius:
19 In the courts of the house of the LORD, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
in atriis domus Domini, in medio tui Ierusalem.
