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.

Ich liebe, weil erhöret der Herr
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Latin 
1 Ich liebe, weil erhöret der Herr 
  die Stimme meines Flehens, 
2 weil er geneigt sein Ohr zu mir;
  dafür will ich mein Leben lang ihn anrufen. 
3 Umringt hatten mich Todesschmerzen, 
  des [Todtenreiches Gefahren]1 mich betroffen;
  Bedrängnis fand ich und Schmerz. 
4 [Und ich rief den Namen des Herrn an]2:
  O Herr, erlöse meine Seele! 
5 Barmherzig ist der Herr, und gerecht,
  und unser Gott [erbarmet]3 sich.
6 [Es schützet die Kleinen der Herr]4; 
  ich war [erniedrigt]5, da half er mir. 
7 Kehre wieder, meine Seele, zu deiner Ruhe --
  denn Gutes hat dir [gethan]6 der Herr[.]6
8 [Denn Er hat freigemacht mein Leben vom Tode,
  meine Augen von Thränen, meine Füße vom Sturze.]6
9 [Gefallen will ich dem Herrn in dem Lande]7 der Lebendigen.
