Tehillim (Psalms) 116
116
1I love יהוה, because He has heard my voice, my pleas.
2Because He has inclined His ear to me, And I shall call throughout my days.
3The cords of death were around me, And the pains of She’ol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow.
4Then I called upon the Name of יהוה, “O יהוה, I pray to You, deliver my being!”
5יהוה shows favour and is righteous; And our Elohim is compassionate.
6יהוה guards the simple; I was brought low, but He saved me.
7Return to your rest, O my being, For יהוה has treated you well.
8For You have delivered my being from death, My eyes from tears, My feet from falling.
9I shall walk before יהוה in the land of the living.
10I have believed, for I speak; I have been greatly afflicted.
11I said in my haste, “All men are liars.”
12What shall I return to יהוה? All His bounties are upon me.
13I lift up the cup of deliverance, And call upon the Name of יהוה.
14I pay my vows to יהוה Now in the presence of all His people.
15Precious in the eyes of יהוה Is the death of His lovingly-committed ones.
16O יהוה, I am truly Your servant, I am Your servant, the son of Your female servant; You have loosed my bonds.
17I slaughter You a slaughtering of thanksgiving, And call upon the Name of יהוה.
18I pay my vows to יהוה In the presence of all His people,
19In the courts of the House of יהוה, In your midst, O Yerushalayim. Praise Yah!

Psalms 116
116
Someone Saved from Death Praises God
1I love the LORD, because he hears me;
he listens to my prayers.
2He listens to me
every time I call to him.
3The danger of death was all round me;
the horrors of the grave closed in on me;
I was filled with fear and anxiety.
4Then I called to the LORD,
“I beg you, LORD, save me!”
5The LORD is merciful and good;
our God is compassionate.
6The LORD protects the helpless;
when I was in danger, he saved me.
7Be confident, my heart,
because the LORD has been good to me.
8The LORD saved me from death;
he stopped my tears
and kept me from defeat.
9And so I walk in the presence of the LORD
in the world of the living.
10 #
2 Cor 4.13
I kept on believing, even when I said,
“I am completely crushed,”
11even when I was afraid and said,
“No one can be trusted.”
12What can I offer the LORD
for all his goodness to me?
13I will bring a wine offering to the LORD,
to thank him for saving me.
14In the assembly of all his people
I will give him what I have promised.
15How painful it is to the LORD
when one of his people dies!
16I am your servant, LORD;
I serve you, just as my mother did.
You have saved me from death.
17I will give you a sacrifice of thanksgiving
and offer my prayer to you.
18-19In the assembly of all your people,
in the sanctuary of your Temple in Jerusalem,
I will give you what I have promised.
Praise the LORD!
