Psalm 116
World English Bible
Previous Chapter Psalm Next Chapter
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
