Psalm cxv.
Credidi.
(An Act of Thanksgiving for deliverance from deadly peril).

(The following Text is from The Douai-Rheims Bible).

I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.

I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.

What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things he hath rendered unto me?

I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people:

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

Illustration: DAMSEL OF THE FAITH AND KNIGHT OF TRADITION

O Lord, for I am Thy servant: I am Thy servant, and the son of Thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:

I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people:

In the courts of the house of The Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

De Profundis.

Out of the depths I have cried unto Thee, O Lord:

Lord, hear my voice.

Let Thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

If Thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.

For with Thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of Thy law, I have waited

for thee, O Lord.

My Soul hath relied on His word:

My Soul hath hoped in The Lord.

sperántem in te.

Preserve my Soul, for I am holy: O Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee.

Teach me Thy way, O Lord, and I will walk in Thy truth: let mine heart be glad, that it may fear Thy name.

Confitébor tibi, Domine, Deus meus, in toto corde meo, et glorificábo nomen tuum in aetérnum:

I will praise Thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart, and I will glorify Thy name for evermore.

Quia misericordia tua magna est super me: et eruisti ánimam meam ex inférno inferiori.

For great is Thy mercy toward me: and Thou hast delivered my Soul from the lowest Hell.

Deus, iniqui insurrexérunt super me, et synagoga poténtiam quaesiérunt ánimam meam: et non proposuérunt te in conspéctu suo.

O God, the wicked are risen up against me, and the assembly of violent men have sought my Soul, and have not set Thee before them.

Et tu, Domine, Deus miserátor et miséricors, pátiens, et multae misericordiae, et verax.

But Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

Fac mecum signum in bonum, ut videant qui odérunt me, et confundántur: quoniam tu, Domine, adjuvisti me, et consolátus es me.

Show me a token for good, that they who hate me may see it and be ashamed: because Thou, O Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me.
