Psalms 116 — LSV

116Verse 1I have loved, because YHWH hears My voice, my supplication,^{Verse 2}Because He has inclined His ear to me, || And during my days I call.^{Verse 3}Cords of death have surrounded me, || And straits of Sheol have found me, || I find distress and sorrow.^{Verse 4}And in the Name of YHWH I call: Ah, now, O YHWH, deliver my soul,^{Verse 5}YHWH [is] gracious, and righteous, || Indeed, our God [is] merciful,^{Verse 6}YHWH [is] a preserver of the simple, || I was low, and He gives salvation to me.^{Verse 7}Return, O my soul, to your rest, || For YHWH has conferred benefits on you.^{Verse 8}For You have delivered my soul from death, || My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.^{Verse 9}I habitually walk before YHWH || In the lands of the living.^{Verse 10}I have believed, for I speak, || I have been greatly afflicted.^{Verse 11}I said in my haste, “Every man [is] a liar.”^{Verse 12}What do I return to YHWH? All His benefits [are] on me.^{Verse 13}I lift up the cup of salvation, || And in the Name of YHWH I call.^{Verse 14}Let me complete my vows to YHWH, || Now, before all His people.^{Verse 15}Precious in the eyes of YHWH [is] the death of His saints.^{Verse 16}Ah, now, O YHWH, for I [am] Your servant; I [am] Your servant, son of Your handmaid; You have opened my bonds.^{Verse 17}I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks to You, || And in the Name of YHWH I call.^{Verse 18}Let me complete my vows to YHWH, || Now, before all His people,^{Verse 19}In the courts of the house of YHWH, || In your midst, O Jerusalem, praise YAH!
