Psalms 116

PSAL. CXVI.

1 I love Yhwh, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. 2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. ^{▼▼ as long…: Heb. in my days.} 3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. ^{▼▼ gat…: Heb. found me.} 4 Then called I upon the name of Yhwh; O Yhwh, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. 5 Gracious is Yhwh, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. 6 Yhwh preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. 7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Yhwh hath dealt bountifully with thee. 8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. 9 I will walk before Yhwh in the land of the living. 10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: 11 I said in my haste, All men are liars. 12 What shall I render unto Yhwh for all his benefits toward me? 13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Yhwh. 14 I will pay my vows unto Yhwh now in the presence of all his people. 15 Precious in the sight of Yhwh is the death of his saints. 16 O Yhwh, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. 17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Yhwh. 18 I will pay my vows unto Yhwh now in the presence of all his people, 19 In the courts of Yhwh's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
