Psalm 115 (116B)
Gratiarum actio in templo
Thanksgiving in the temple
Per ipsum (Christum) offeramus hostiam laudis semper Deo (Hebr 13, 15).
Through Him (Christ) may we continually offer God a sacrifice of praise (Hebr 13:15).
Crédidi, étiam cum locútus sum: * «Ego humiliátus sum nimis».
I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.
Ego dixi in trepidatióne mea: * «Omnis homo mendax».
I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.
Quid retríbuam Dómino * pro ómnibus, quæ retríbuit mihi?
What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things that he hath rendered to me?
Cálicem salutáris accípiam * et nomen Dómini invocábo.
I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
Vota mea Dómino reddam * coram omni pópulo eius.
I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people:
Pretiósa in conspéctu Dómini * mors sanctórum eius.
precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
O Dómine, ego servus tuus, * ego servus tuus et fílius ancíllæ tuæ.
O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:
Dirupísti víncula mea: † tibi sacrificábo hóstiam laudis * et nomen Dómini invocábo.
I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
Vota mea Dómino reddam * coram omni pópulo eius,
I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people:
in átriis domus Dómini, * in médio tui, Ierúsalem.
in the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
