LEB - Psalms - 116

116:1  I love him, because Yahweh has heard ⌞the voice of my supplications⌟.

116:2  Because he has inclined his ear to me, I will call ⌞all my days⌟.

116:3  The ropes of death encircled me, and the distresses of Sheol found me. I found trouble and grief.

116:4  Then I called on the name of Yahweh: “O Yahweh, please save my life!”

116:5  Gracious is Yahweh and righteous, and our God is merciful.

116:6  Yahweh watches over the simple. I was brought low, but he gave me victory.

116:7  Return, O my soul, to your repose, for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.

116:8  For you have rescued me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

116:9  I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living.

116:10  I believed when I spoke, “I am afflicted greatly.”

116:11  I said in my haste, “⌞Everyone⌟ is a liar.”

116:12  What shall I give back to Yahweh for all his benefits to me?

116:13  I will lift up the cup of salvation and proclaim the name of Yahweh.

116:14  I will pay my vows made to Yahweh in the presence of all his people.

116:15  Costly ⌞in Yahweh’s view⌟ is the death of his faithful ones.

116:16  Ah, Yahweh, I am indeed your servant; I am your servant, the child of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds.

116:17  I will offer to you a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and proclaim the name of Yahweh.

116:18  I will pay my vows made to Yahweh in the presence of all his people,

116:19  in the courts of the house of Yahweh, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
