Psalms 116
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#116:3 Sheol is the place of the dead. got a hold of me.
I found trouble and sorrow.
4Then I called on Yahweh’s name:
“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 people are liars.”
12What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me?
13I will take the cup of salvation, and call on Yahweh’s name.
14I will pay my vows to Yahweh,
yes, in the presence of all his people.
15Precious in Yahweh’s sight is the death of his saints.
16Yahweh, truly I am your servant.
I am your servant, the son of your servant girl.
You have freed me from my chains.
17I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and will call on Yahweh’s name.
18I will pay my vows to Yahweh,
yes, in the presence of all his people,
19in the courts of Yahweh’s house,
in the middle of you, Jerusalem.
Praise Yah!

Psalm 116
1I love the Lord, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.
2Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.
3The cords of death entangled me,
the anguish of the grave came over me;
I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
4Then I called on the name of the Lord:
“Lord, save me!”
5The Lord is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.
6The Lord protects the unwary;
when I was brought low, he saved me.
7Return to your rest, my soul,
for the Lord has been good to you.
8For you, Lord, have delivered me from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,
9that I may walk before the Lord
in the land of the living.
10I trusted in the Lord when I said,
“I am greatly afflicted”;
11in my alarm I said,
“Everyone is a liar.”
12What shall I return to the Lord
for all his goodness to me?
13I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the Lord.
14I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people.
15Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his faithful servants.
16Truly I am your servant, Lord;
I serve you just as my mother did;
you have freed me from my chains.
17I will sacrifice a thank offering to you
and call on the name of the Lord.
18I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people,
19in the courts of the house of the Lord—
in your midst, Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord.#116:19 Hebrew Hallelu Yah
