Psalms 116

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

1 I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.

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

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

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 cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow.

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

4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: “LORD, save me!”

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

5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.

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

6 The LORD protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me.

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

7 Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.

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

8 For you, LORD, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,

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

9 that I may walk before the LORDin the land of the living.

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

10 I trusted in the LORD when I said, “I am greatly afflicted”;

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

11 in my alarm I said, “Everyone is a liar.”

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

12 What shall I return to the LORDfor all his goodness to me?

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

13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.

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

14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORDin the presence of all his people.

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

15 Precious in the sight of the LORDis the death of his faithful servants.

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

16 Truly I am your servant, LORD; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains.

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

17 I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD.

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

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