Psalm 116

The Bible in Basic English BBE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 before the Lord in the land of the living.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB

1 16 I love Hashem, because He hath heard my kol (voice), even my techinnah.

2 Because He hath inclined His ozen (ear) unto me, therefore will I call upon Him while I have days.

3 Chevlei mavet (pangs of death) encompassed me, and the metzarei She’ol (confines, straitnesses of She’ol) have caught up with me and found me; tzoros and yagon (sorrow) I found.

4 Then called I b’Shem Hashem: O Hashem, save my nefesh!

5 Channun (gracious) is Hashem, and tzaddik; yes, Eloheinu is merciful.

6 Hashem is shomer over the petayim (simple-hearted, helpless); I was in need and li yehoshia (me He saved).

7 Return, my nefesh, to thy menuchah (rest, resting place); for Hashem hath dealt bountifully with thee.

8 For Thou hast saved my nefesh from mavet (death), mine eye from dimah (tears), and mine regel (foot) from stumbling.

9 I will walk before Hashem in the Artzot HaChayim (the Land of the Living). [T.N. Note that I can do that because Moshiach was cut off from there in my place and for my sins—Isa 53:8]

10 He’emaneti (I believed); therefore have I spoken; I was greatly afflicted.

11 I said in my chafaz (haste, alarm, consternation), Kol HaAdam Kozev (all men are liars).

12 How shall I repay Hashem for all His benefits to me?

13 I will raise the Kos Yeshu’ot (the Cup of Salvation), and call upon Hashem b’Shem (by Name).

14 I will fulfill my nederim (vows) now in the presence of all His people.

15 Precious in the eyes of Hashem is the mavet of His Chasidim.

16 O Hashem, truly I am Thy eved; I am Thy eved, ben amatecha (the son of Thy maid servant); Thou hast removed my chains.

17 I will sacrifice to Thee the zevach todah (the thanksgiving offering) and will call on the Shem Hashem.

18 I will fulfill my nederim to Hashem now in the presence of all His people.

19 In the khatzerot Beis Hashem, in the midst of thee, O Yerushalayim. Praise ye Hashem.
