Chapter Text
116:1 I love Yahweh, because He hears My voice and my supplications.
116:2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, So I shall call upon Him in all my days.
116:3 The cords of death encompassed me And the distresses of Sheol found me; I found distress and sorrow.
116:4 Then I called upon the name of Yahweh: “O Yahweh, I beseech You, provide my soul escape!”
116:5 Gracious is Yahweh, and righteous; And our God is compassionate.
116:6 Yahweh keeps the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.
116:7 Return to your rest, O my soul, For Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.
116:8 For You have rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, My feet from stumbling.
116:9 I shall walk before Yahweh In the land of the living.
116:10 I believed when I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”
116:11 I said in my alarm, “All men are liars.”
116:12 What shall I give to Yahweh in return For all His bountiful dealings with me?
116:13 I shall lift up the cup of salvation And call upon the name of Yahweh.
116:14 I shall pay my vows to Yahweh, Oh may it be in the presence of all His people.
116:15 Precious in the sight of Yahweh Is the death of His holy ones.
116:16 O Yahweh, surely I am Your slave, I am Your slave, the son of Your maidservant, You have loosed my bonds.
116:17 To You I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving, And call upon the name of Yahweh.
116:18 I shall pay my vows to Yahweh, Oh may it be 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!
