Psalms 116
1 I love Yahweh because he hears my voice and my pleas for mercy.
2 Because he listened to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
3 The cords of death surrounded me, and the snares of Sheol confronted me; I felt anguish and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of Yahweh: “Please Yahweh, rescue my life.”
5 Yahweh is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate.
6 Yahweh protects the naive; I was brought low, and he saved me.
7 My soul can return to its resting place, for Yahweh has been good to me.
8 For you rescued my life from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.
9 I will serve Yahweh in the land of the living.
10 I believed in him, even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”
11 In my confusion I said, “All men are liars.”
12 How can I repay Yahweh for all his kindnesses to me?
13 I will raise the cup of salvation, and call on the name of Yahweh.
14 I will fulfill my vows to Yahweh in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of his saints.
16 Yahweh, indeed, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your servant woman; you have taken away my bonds.
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and will call on the name of Yahweh.
18 I will fulfill my vows to Yahweh in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courts of Yahweh's house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise Yahweh.
