Psalms 116

1I love that YHWH should hear My voice and my supplications.

2Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, Therefore will I call upon Him all my days.

3The cords of death compassed me, And the straits of the nether-world got hold upon me; I found trouble and sorrow.

4But I called upon the name of YHWH: ‘I beseech thee, O YHWH, deliver my soul.’

5Gracious is YHWH, and righteous; Yea, our God is compassionate.

6YHWH preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.

7Return, O my soul, unto Thy rest; For YHWH hath dealt bountifully with thee.

8For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, And my feet from stumbling.

9I shall walk before YHWH In the lands of the living.

10I trusted even when I spoke: ‘I am greatly afflicted.’

11I said in my haste: ‘All men are liars.’

12How can I repay unto YHWH All His bountiful dealings toward me?

13I will lift up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of YHWH.

14My vows will I pay unto YHWH, Yea, in the presence of all His people.

15Precious in the sight of YHWH Is the death of His saints.

16I beseech Thee, O YHWH, for I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bands.

17I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of YHWH.

18I will pay my vows unto YHWH, Yea, in the presence of all His people;

19In the courts of YHWH's house, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
