Psalms 116
1 Alleluia. I louede `the Lord; for the Lord schal here the vois of my preier.
Alleluja. [Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meæ.
2 For he bowide doun his eere to me; and Y schal inwardli clepe in my daies.
Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi, et in diebus meis invocabo.
3 The sorewis of deth cumpassiden me; and the perelis of helle founden me. I foond tribulacioun and sorewe; (Sheol h7585)
Circumdederunt me dolores mortis; et pericula inferni invenerunt me. Tribulationem et dolorem inveni, (Sheol h7585)
4 and Y clepide inwardli the name of the Lord. Thou, Lord, delyuere my soule;
et nomen Domini invocavi: o Domine, libera animam meam.
5 the Lord is merciful, and iust; and oure God doith merci.
Misericors Dominus et justus, et Deus noster miseretur.
6 And the Lord kepith litle children; Y was mekid, and he delyuerede me.
Custodiens parvulos Dominus; humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.
7 Mi soule, turne thou in to thi reste; for the Lord hath do wel to thee.
Convertere, anima mea, in requiem tuam, quia Dominus benefecit tibi:
8 For he hath delyuered my soule fro deth; myn iyen fro wepingis, my feet fro fallyng doun.
quia eripuit animam meam de morte, oculos meos a lacrimis, pedes meos a lapsu.
9 I schal plese the Lord; in the cuntrei of hem that lyuen.
Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.]

Alleluja. [Credidi, propter quod locutus sum; ego autem humiliatus sum nimis.
11 I seide in my passing; Ech man is a lier.
Ego dixi in excessu meo: Omnis homo mendax.
12 What schal Y yelde to the Lord; for alle thingis which he yeldide to me?
Quid retribuam Domino pro omnibus quæ retribuit mihi?
13 I schal take the cuppe of heelthe; and Y schal inwardli clepe the name of the Lord.
Calicem salutaris accipiam, et nomen Domini invocabo.
14 I schal yelde my vowis to the Lord bifor al his puple;
Vota mea Domino reddam coram omni populo ejus.
15 the deth of seyntis of the Lord is precious in his siyt.
Pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors sanctorum ejus.
16 O! Lord, for Y am thi seruant; Y am thi seruaunt, and the sone of thi handmaide. Thou hast broke my bondys,
O Domine, quia ego servus tuus; ego servus tuus, et filius ancillæ tuæ. Dirupisti vincula mea:
17 to thee Y schal offre a sacrifice of heriyng; and Y schal inwardli clepe the name of the Lord.
tibi sacrificabo hostiam laudis, et nomen Domini invocabo.
18 I schal yelde my vowis to the Lord, in the siyt of al his puple;
Vota mea Domino reddam in conspectu omnis populi ejus;
19 in the porchis of the hous of the Lord, in the myddil of thee, Jerusalem.
in atriis domus Domini, in medio tui, Jerusalem.]
