Let everything that hath breath * praise the Lord.
Psalm 118(81-88) [1]
118:81 (Caph) My soul hath fainted after thy salvation: * and in thy word I have very much hoped.
118:82 My eyes have failed for thy word, * saying: When wilt thou comfort me?
118:83 For I am become like a bottle in the frost: * I have not forgotten thy justifications.
118:84 How many are the days of thy servant: * when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
118:85 The wicked have told me fables: * but not as thy law.
118:86 All thy statutes are truth: * they have persecuted me unjustly, do thou help me.
118:87 They had almost made an end of me upon earth: * but I have not forsaken thy commandments.
118:88 Quicken thou me according to thy mercy: * and I shall keep the testimonies of thy mouth.
118:81 (Caph) Defécit in salutáre tuum ánima mea: * et in verbum tuum supersperávi.
118:82 Defecérunt óculi mei in elóquium tuum, * dicéntes: Quando consoláberis me?
118:83 Quia factus sum sicut uter in pruína: * iustificatiónes tuas non sum oblítus.
118:84 Quot sunt dies servi tui? * quando fácies de persequéntibus me iudícium?
118:85 Narravérunt mihi iníqui fabulatiónes: * sed non ut lex tua.
118:86 Ómnia mandáta tua véritas: * iníque persecúti sunt me, ádiuva me.
118:87 Paulo minus consummavérunt me in terra: * ego autem non derelíqui mandáta tua.
118:88 Secúndum misericórdiam tuam vivífica me: * et custódiam testimónia oris tui.
Eternal rest * grant unto them, O Lord.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis, Dómine.
And let perpetual light * shine upon them.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
Psalm 118(89-96) [2]
118:89 (Lamed) For ever, O Lord, * thy word standeth firm in heaven.
118:90 Thy truth unto all generations: * thou hast founded the earth, and it continueth.
118:91 By thy ordinance the day goeth on: * for all things serve thee.
118:92 Unless thy law had been my meditation, * I had then perhaps perished in my abjection.
118:93 Thy justifications I will never forget: * for by them thou hast given me life.
118:94 I am thine, save thou me: * for I have sought thy justifications.
118:95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: * but I have understood thy testimonies.
118:96 I have seen an end of all perfection: * thy commandment is exceeding broad.
118:89 (Lamed) In ætérnum, Dómine, * verbum tuum pérmanet in cælo.
118:90 In generatiónem et generatiónem véritas tua: * fundásti terram, et pérmanet.
118:91 Ordinatióne tua persevérat dies: * quóniam ómnia sérviunt tibi.
118:92 Nisi quod lex tua meditátio mea est: * tunc forte periíssem in humilitáte mea.
118:93 In ætérnum non oblivíscar iustificatiónes tuas: * quia in ipsis vivificásti me.
118:94 Tuus sum ego, salvum me fac: * quóniam iustificatiónes tuas exquisívi.
118:95 Me exspectavérunt peccatóres ut pérderent me: * testimónia tua intelléxi.
118:96 Omnis consummatiónis vidi finem: * latum mandátum tuum nimis.
Eternal rest * grant unto them, O Lord.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis, Dómine.
And let perpetual light * shine upon them.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.

Psalm 118(97-104) [3]
118:97 (Mem) How have I loved thy law, O Lord! * it is my meditation all the day.
118:98 Through thy commandment, thou hast made me wiser than my enemies: * for it is ever with me.
118:99 I have understood more than all my teachers: * because thy testimonies are my meditation.
118:100 I have had understanding above ancients: * because I have sought thy commandments.
118:101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way: * that I may keep thy words.
118:102 I have not declined from thy judgments, * because thou hast set me a law.
118:103 How sweet are thy words to my palate! * more than honey to my mouth.
118:104 By thy commandments I have had understanding: * therefore have I hated every way of iniquity.
118:97 (Mem) Quómodo diléxi legem tuam, Dómine? * tota die meditátio mea est.
118:98 Super inimícos meos prudéntem me fecísti mandáto tuo: * quia in ætérnum mihi est.
118:99 Super omnes docéntes me intelléxi: * quia testimónia tua meditátio mea est.
118:100 Super senes intelléxi: * quia mandáta tua quæsívi.
118:101 Ab omni via mala prohíbui pedes meos: * ut custódiam verba tua.
118:102 A iudíciis tuis non declinávi: * quia tu legem posuísti mihi.
118:103 Quam dúlcia fáucibus meis elóquia tua, * super mel ori meo!
118:104 A mandátis tuis intelléxi: * proptérea odívi omnem viam iniquitátis.
Eternal rest * grant unto them, O Lord.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis, Dómine.
And let perpetual light * shine upon them.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
