| 116.1 |
I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy. |
| 116.2 |
Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live. |
| 116.3 |
The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow. |
| 116.4 |
Then I called on Yahweh’s name: “Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul.” |
| 116.5 |
Yahweh is Gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful. |
| 116.6 |
Yahweh preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me. |
| 116.7 |
Return to your rest, my soul, for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you. |
| 116.8 |
For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. |
| 116.9 |
I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living. |
| 116.10 |
I believed, therefore I said, “I was greatly afflicted.” |
| 116.11 |
I said in my haste, “All men are liars.” |
| 116.12 |
What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me? |
| 116.13 |
I will take the cup of salvation, and call on Yahweh’s name. |
| 116.14 |
I will pay my vows to Yahweh, yes, in the presence of all his people. |
| 116.15 |
Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of his saints. |
| 116.16 |
Yahweh, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains. |
| 116.17 |
I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on Yahweh’s name. |
| 116.18 |
I will pay my vows to Yahweh, yes, in the presence of all his people, |
| 116.19 |
in the courts of Yahweh’s house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise Yah! |
