< Psalmorum 116 >

1 Alleluia. Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meae.
I love that the LORD should hear my voice and my supplications.
2 Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi: et in diebus meis invocabo.
Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him all my days.
3 Circumdederunt me dolores mortis: et pericula inferni invenerunt me. Tribulationem et dolorem inveni: (Sheol h7585)
The cords of death compassed me, and the straits of the nether-world got hold upon me; I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
4 et nomen Domini invocavi. O Domine libera animam meam:
But I called upon the name of the LORD: 'I beseech thee, O LORD, deliver my soul.'
5 misericors Dominus, et iustus, et Deus noster miseretur.
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is compassionate.
6 Custodiens parvulos Dominus: humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.
The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.
7 Convertere anima mea in requiem tuam: quia Dominus benefecit tibi.
Return, O my soul, unto Thy rest; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8 Quia eripuit animam meam de morte: oculos meos a lacrymis, pedes meos a lapsu.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.
9 Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.
I shall walk before the LORD in the lands of the living.
10 Alleluia. Credidi, propter quod locutus sum: ego autem humiliatus sum nimis.
I trusted even when I spoke: 'I am greatly afflicted.'
11 Ego dixi in excessu meo: Omnis homo mendax.
I said in my haste: 'All men are liars.'
12 Quid retribuam Domino, pro omnibus, quae retribuit mihi?
How can I repay unto the LORD all His bountiful dealings toward me?
13 Calicem salutaris accipiam: et nomen Domini invocabo.
I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
14 Vota mea Domino reddam coram omni populo eius:
My vows will I pay unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all His people.
15 pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors Sanctorum eius:
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.
16 O Domine quia ego servus tuus: ego servus tuus, et filius ancillae tuae. Dirupisti vincula mea:
I beseech Thee, O LORD, for I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bands.
17 tibi sacrificabo hostiam laudis, et nomen Domini invocabo.
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
18 Vota mea Domino reddam in conspectu omnis populi eius:
I will pay my vows unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all His people;
19 in atriis domus Domini, in medio tui Ierusalem.
In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
