Psalms 116

1 I love the LORD, 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 (Sheol h7585) got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.

circumdederunt me dolores mortis pericula inferni invenerunt me tribulationem et dolorem inveni (Sheol h7585)

4 Then I called on the LORD’s name: “LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul.”

et nomen Domini invocavi o Domine libera animam meam

5 The LORD is gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.

misericors Dominus et iustus et Deus noster miseretur

6 The LORD 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 the LORD 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 the LORD in the land of the living.

placebo Domino in regione vivorum

10 I believed, therefore I said, “I was greatly afflicted.”

alleluia credidi propter quod locutus sum ego autem humiliatus sum nimis

11 I said in my haste, “All people are liars.”

ego dixi in excessu meo omnis homo mendax

12 What will I give to the LORD 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 LORD’s name.

calicem salutaris accipiam et nomen Domini invocabo

14 I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people.

vota mea Domino reddam coram omni populo eius

15 Precious in the LORD’s sight is the death of his saints.

pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors sanctorum eius

16 LORD, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your servant girl. 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 LORD’s name.

tibi sacrificabo hostiam laudis et in nomine Domini invocabo

18 I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people,

vota mea Domino reddam in conspectu omnis populi eius

19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in the middle of you, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!

in atriis domus Domini in medio tui Hierusalem
