| Chapter 116 |
1 |
I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, And my cries for mercy. |
2 |
Because he has turned his ear to me, Therefore I will call on him as long as I live. |
3 |
The cords of death surrounded me, The pains of Sheol got a hold on me. I found trouble and sorrow. |
4 |
Then called I on the name of Yahweh: "Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul." |
5 |
Gracious is Yahweh, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful. |
6 |
Yahweh preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me. |
7 |
Return to your rest, my soul, For Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you. |
8 |
For you have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling. |
9 |
I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living. |
10 |
I believed, therefore I said, "I was greatly afflicted." |
11 |
I said in my haste, "All men are liars." |
12 |
What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me? |
13 |
I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of Yahweh. |
14 |
I will pay my vows to Yahweh, Yes, in the presence of all his people. |
15 |
Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of his saints. |
16 |
Yahweh, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains. |
17 |
I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call on the name of Yahweh. |
18 |
I will pay my vows to Yahweh, Yes, in the presence of all his people, |
19 |
In the courts of Yahweh`s house, In the midst of you, Jerusalem. Praise Yah! Psalm 117 |
