Psalm 115 (116)

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

1 Alleluia. I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.

2 Ego dixi in excessu meo : Omnis homo mendax.

2 I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.

3 Quid retribuam Domino pro omnibus quæ retribuit mihi ?

3 What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things that he hath rendered to me?

4 Calicem salutaris accipiam, et nomen Domini invocabo.

4 I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

5 Vota mea Domino reddam coram omni populo ejus.

5 I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people:

6 Pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors sanctorum ejus.

6 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

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

7 O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:

8 tibi sacrificabo hostiam laudis, et nomen Domini invocabo.

8 I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

9 Vota mea Domino reddam in conspectu omnis populi ejus ;

9 I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people:

10 in atriis domus Domini, in medio tui, Jerusalem.

10 In the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
