Psalms 114

1I have loved, because the Lord will hear the voice of my prayer.

Alleluja. Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meæ.

2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me: and in my days I will call upon him.

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

3The sorrows of death have compassed me: and the perils of hell have found me. I met with trouble and sorrow:

Circumdederunt me dolores mortis; et pericula inferni invenerunt me. Tribulationem et dolorem inveni,

4And I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.

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

5The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.

Misericors Dominus et justus, et Deus noster miseretur.

6The Lord is the keeper of little ones: I was humbled, and he delivered me.

Custodiens parvulos Dominus; humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.

7Turn, O my soul, into thy rest: for the Lord hath been bountiful to thee.

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

8For he hath delivered my soul from death: my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

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

9I will please the Lord in the land of the living.

Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.
