Psalms 116
-
1I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice,
- and my cries for mercy.
-
2Because he has turned his ear to me,
- therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
-
3The cords of death surrounded me,
- the pains of Sheol got a hold of me.
- I found trouble and sorrow.
-
4Then I called on the name of Yahweh:
- “Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul.”
-
5Yahweh is Gracious and righteous.
- Yes, our God is merciful.
-
6Yahweh preserves the simple.
- I was brought low, and he saved me.
-
7Return to your rest, my soul,
- for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.
-
8For you have delivered my soul from death,
- my eyes from tears,
- and my feet from falling.
-
9I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living.
-
10I believed, therefore I said,
- “I was greatly afflicted.”
-
11I said in my haste,
- “All men are liars.”
-
12What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me?
-
13I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of Yahweh.
-
14I will pay my vows to Yahweh,
- yes, in the presence of all his people.
-
15Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of his saints.
-
16Yahweh, truly I am your servant.
- I am your servant, the son of your handmaid.
- You have freed me from my chains.
-
17I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
- and will call on the name of Yahweh.
-
18I will pay my vows to Yahweh,
- yes, in the presence of all his people,
-
19in the courts of Yahweh’s house,
- in the midst of you, Jerusalem.
