Psalmus 114 (116)
Language: Latin 
1 [Alleluja.] Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus
  vocem orationis meæ.
2 Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi,
  et in diebus meis invocabo.
3 Circumdederunt me dolores mortis;
  et pericula inferni invenerunt me.
  Tribulationem et dolorem inveni,
4 et nomen Domini invocavi:
  o Domine, libera animam meam.
5 Misericors Dominus et justus,
  et Deus noster miseretur.
6 Custodiens parvulos Dominus;
  humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.
7 Convertere, anima mea, in requiem tuam,
  quia Dominus benefecit tibi:
8 quia eripuit animam meam de morte,
  oculos meos a lacrimis,
  pedes meos a lapsu.
9 Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.

Psalm 114 (116)
Language: English  after the Latin 
1 I have loved, because the Lord 
  will hear the voice of my prayer.
2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me: 
  and in my days I will call upon him.
3 The sorrows of death have encompassed me: 
  and the perils of hell have found me.
  I met with trouble and sorrow:
4 and I called upon the name of the Lord. 
  O Lord, deliver my soul.
5 The Lord is merciful and just, 
  and our God sheweth mercy.
6 The Lord is the keeper of little ones: 
  I was little and he delivered me.
7 Turn, O my soul, into thy rest: 
  for the Lord hath been bountiful to thee.
8 For he hath delivered my soul from death:
  my eyes from tears,
  my feet from falling.
9 I will please the Lord in the land of the living.
