Psalm 116

All nations are called upon to praise God for his mercy and truth.

Does this psalm differ from what you were expecting? Don't be confused. There are two systems for arranging the psalms: the Septuagint and the Masoretic. We use the Septuagint system here. In the Masoretic system, which is used in most modern Bible translations, this psalm is called Psalm 117, and the previous two psalms are combined and known as Psalm 116.

English (Douay-Rheims)

Alleluia.

1 O Praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
2 For his mercy is confirmed upon us: and the truth of the Lord remaineth for ever.

Laudate Dominum, omnes gentes;

et veritas Domini manet in æternum.
