Psalm 116
1I love the Lord because he hears my voice, my pleas for mercy.
2I will call on him as long as I live
because he turns his ear toward me.
3The ropes of death became tangled around me.
The horrors of the grave took hold of me.
I experienced pain and agony.
4But I kept calling on the name of the Lord:
“Please, Lord, rescue me!”
5The Lord is merciful and righteous.
Our God is compassionate.
6The Lord protects defenseless people.
When I was weak, he saved me.
7Be at peace again, my soul,
because the Lord has been good to you.
8You saved me from death.
You saved my eyes from tears ⌞and⌟ my feet from stumbling.
9I will walk in the Lord’s presence in this world of the living.
10I kept my faith even when I said,
“I am suffering terribly.”
11I also said when I was panic-stricken,
“Everyone is undependable.”
12How can I repay the Lord
for all the good that he has done for me?
13I will take the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the Lord.
14I will keep 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 ones.
16O Lord, I am indeed your servant.
I am your servant,
the son of your female servant.
You have freed me from my chains.
17I will bring a song of thanksgiving to you as a sacrifice.
I will call on the name of the Lord.
18I will keep my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people,
19in the courtyards of the Lord’s house,
in the middle of Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!

Psalms 116
116
Lift Up the Cup of Salvation
1I love Adonai, for He hears my voice, my cries.
2Because He has turned His ear to me, I will call on Him all my days.
3The ropes of death entangled me, and the torments of Sheol found me. I found trouble and sorrow.
4Then I called upon the Name of Adonai: “Adonai, save my soul!”
5Adonai is gracious and righteous— yes, our God is compassionate.
6Adonai protects the simple-hearted. When I was brought low, He saved me.
7Return to your rest, my soul, for Adonai has been good to you.
8For You delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9I will walk before Adonai in the lands of the living.
10I trusted even when I said, “I am very afflicted”—
11even when I said in my haste, “All men are liars.”
12How can I repay Adonai for all His bounties to me?
13I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call on the Name of Adonai.
14I will fulfill my vows to Adonai in the presence of all His people.
15Precious in the sight of Adonai is the death of His kedoshim.
16O Adonai! Surely I am Your servant. I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant. You have freed me from my bonds.
17To You I will offer a sacrifice of praise, and will call on the Name of Adonai.
18I will fulfill my vows to Adonai in the presence of all His people,
19in the courts of the House of Adonai, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Halleluyah!
