Psalms, 116

1. Alleluia! I am filled with love when Yahweh listens to the sound of my prayer,

1. I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications.

2. when he bends down to hear me, as I call.

2. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon [him] as long as I live.

3. The bonds of death were all round me, the snares of Sheol held me fast; distress and anguish held me in their grip,

3. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

4. I called on the name of Yahweh. Deliver me, Yahweh, I beg you.

4. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

5. Yahweh is merciful and upright, our God is tenderness.

5. Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God [is] merciful.

6. Yahweh looks after the simple, when I was brought low he gave me strength.

6. The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

7. My heart, be at peace once again, for Yahweh has treated you generously.

7. Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

8. He has rescued me from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.

8. For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, [and] my feet from falling.

9. I shall pass my life in the presence of Yahweh, in the land of the living.

9. I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

10. My trust does not fail even when I say, 'I am completely wretched.'

10. I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

11. In my terror I said, 'No human being can be relied on.'

11. I said in my haste, All men [are] liars.

12. What return can I make to Yahweh for his generosity to me?

12. What shall I render unto the LORD [for] all his benefits toward me?

13. I shall take up the cup of salvation and call on the name of Yahweh.

13. I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

14. I shall fulfil my vows to Yahweh, witnessed by all his people.

14. I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

15. Costly in Yahweh's sight is the death of his faithful.

15. Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his saints.

16. I beg you, Yahweh! I am your servant, I am your servant and my mother was your servant; you have undone my fetters.

16. O LORD, truly I [am] thy servant; I [am] thy servant, [and] the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

17. I shall offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of Yahweh.

17. I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

18. I shall fulfil my vows to Yahweh, witnessed by all his people,

18. I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,

19. in the courts of the house of Yahweh, in your very heart, Jerusalem.

19. In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
