Psalms 116

1 I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,

Alleluia. Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meæ.

2 Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.

Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi: et in diebus meis invocabo.

3 Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find. (Sheol h7585)

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

4 And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,

et nomen Domini invocavi. O Domine libera animam meam:

5 Gracious [is] Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God [is] merciful,

misericors Dominus, et iustus, et Deus noster miseretur.

6 A preserver of the simple [is] Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.

Custodiens parvulos Dominus: humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.

7 Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.

Convertere anima mea in requiem tuam: quia Dominus benefecit tibi.

8 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.

Quia eripuit animam meam de morte: oculos meos a lacrymis, pedes meos a lapsu.

9 I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.

Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.

10 I have believed, for I speak, I — I have been afflicted greatly.

Alleluia. Credidi, propter quod locutus sum: ego autem humiliatus sum nimis.

11 I said in my haste, 'Every man [is] a liar.'

Ego dixi in excessu meo: Omnis homo mendax.

12 What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon me.

Quid retribuam Domino, pro omnibus, quæ retribuit mihi?

13 The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

Calicem salutaris accipiam: et nomen Domini invocabo.

14 My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people.

Vota mea Domino reddam coram omni populo eius:

15 Precious in the eyes of Jehovah [is] the death for His saints.

pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors Sanctorum eius:

16 Cause [it] to come, O Jehovah, for I [am] Thy servant. I [am] Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.

O Domine quia ego servus tuus: ego servus tuus, et filius ancillæ tuæ. Dirupisti vincula mea:

17 To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

tibi sacrificabo hostiam laudis, et nomen Domini invocabo.

18 My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,

Vota mea Domino reddam in conspectu omnis populi eius:

19 In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!

in atriis domus Domini, in medio tui Ierusalem.
