Psalmorum 116

1 Alleluja. [Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meæ.

I love the LORD, because he hath heard 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] as long as I live.

3 Circumdederunt me dolores mortis; et pericula inferni invenerunt me. Tribulationem et dolorem inveni, (Sheol h7585)

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

4 et nomen Domini invocavi: o Domine, libera animam meam.

Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

5 Misericors Dominus et justus, et Deus noster miseretur.

Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God [is] merciful.

6 Custodiens parvulos Dominus; humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.

The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

7 Convertere, anima mea, in requiem tuam, quia Dominus benefecit tibi:

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

8 quia eripuit animam meam de morte, oculos meos a lacrimis, pedes meos a lapsu.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, [and] my feet from falling.

9 Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.]

I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

10 Alleluja. [Credidi, propter quod locutus sum; ego autem humiliatus sum nimis.

I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was 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 quæ retribuit mihi?

What shall I render unto the LORD [for] all his benefits toward me?

13 Calicem salutaris accipiam, et nomen Domini invocabo.

I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

14 Vota mea Domino reddam coram omni populo ejus.

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

15 Pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors sanctorum ejus.

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 ancillæ tuæ. Dirupisti vincula mea:

O LORD, truly I [am] thy servant; I [am] thy servant, [and] the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

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 ejus;

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,

19 in atriis domus Domini, in medio tui, Jerusalem.]

In the courts of the LORD’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
