Psalm 115 (116:10-19): I have believed, therefore have I spoken
Psalm
A psalm of thanksgiving for deliverance, containing the verse 'I will take the chalice of salvation'; in the Vulgate numbering it is Psalm 115, which the modern numbering counts as Psalm 116:10-19. The text is the Douay-Rheims (Challoner) version, which follows the Vulgate psalm numbering.
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. 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.
