Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
Clementine Vulgate
Psalms 114
1Alleluja. [Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis me. 2Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi, et in diebus meis invocabo. 3Circumdederunt me dolores mortis; et pericula inferni invenerunt me. Tribulationem et dolorem inveni, 4et nomen Domini invocavi: o Domine, libera animam meam. 5Misericors Dominus et justus, et Deus noster miseretur. 6Custodiens parvulos Dominus; humiliatus sum, et liberavit me. 7Convertere, anima mea, in requiem tuam, quia Dominus benefecit tibi: 8quia eripuit animam meam de morte, oculos meos a lacrimis, pedes meos a lapsu. 9Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.]
