Psalms 116

1 I love that ADONAI heard my voice when I prayed;

1 I have given my love to the Lord, because he has given ear to the voice of my cry and my prayer.

2 because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.

2 He has let my request come before him, and I will make my prayer to him all my days.

3 The cords of death were all around me, Sh'ol's constrictions held me fast; I was finding only distress and anguish.

3 The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow.

4 But I called on the name of ADONAI: "Please, ADONAI! Save me!"

4 Then I made my prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord, take my soul out of trouble.

5 ADONAI is merciful and righteous; yes, our God is compassionate.

5 The Lord is full of grace and righteousness; truly, he is a God of mercy.

6 ADONAI preserves the thoughtless; when I was brought low, he saved me.

6 The Lord keeps the simple; I was made low, and he was my saviour.

7 My soul, return to your rest! For ADONAI has been generous toward you.

7 Come back to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has given you your reward.

8 Yes, you have rescued me from death, my eyes from tears and my feet from falling.

8 You have taken my soul from the power of death, keeping my eyes from weeping, and my feet from falling.

9 I will go on walking in the presence of ADONAI in the lands of the living.

9 I will go before the Lord in the land of the living.

10 I will keep on trusting even when I say, "I am utterly miserable,"

10 I still had faith, though I said, I am in great trouble;

11 even when, in my panic, I declare, "Everything human is deceptive."

11 Though I said in my fear, All men are false.

12 How can I repay ADONAI for all his generous dealings with me?

12 What may I give to the Lord for all the good things which he has done for me?

13 I will raise the cup of salvation and call on the name of ADONAI.

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and give praise to the name of the Lord.

14 I will pay my vows to ADONAI in the presence of all his people.

14 I will make the offering of my oath to the Lord, even before all his people.

15 From ADONAI's point of view, the death of those faithful to him is costly.

15 Dear in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints.

16 Oh, ADONAI! I am your slave; I am your slave, the son of your slave-girl; you have removed my fetters.

16 O Lord, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of her who is your servant; by you have my cords been broken.

17 I will offer a sacrifice of thanks to you and will call on the name of ADONAI.

17 I will give an offering of praise to you, and make my prayer in the name of the Lord.

18 I will pay my vows to ADONAI in the presence of all his people,

18 I will make the offerings of my oath, even before all his people;

19 in the courtyards of ADONAI's house, there in your very heart, Yerushalayim. Halleluyah!

19 In the Lord's house, even in Jerusalem. Praise be to the Lord.
