Psalm 116

1 I love God because he listened to me, listened as I begged for mercy.

1 I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, And my cries for mercy.

2 He listened so intently as I laid out my case before him.

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

3 Death stared me in the face, hell was hard on my heels. Up against it, I didn't know which way to turn;

3 The cords of death surrounded me, The pains of Sheol got a hold on me. I found trouble and sorrow.

4 then I called out to God for help: "Please, God!" I cried out. "Save my life!"

4 Then called I on the name of Yahweh: "Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul."

5 God is gracious - it is he who makes things right, our most compassionate God.

5 Gracious is Yahweh, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful.

6 God takes the side of the helpless; when I was at the end of my rope, he saved me.

6 Yahweh preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.

7 I said to myself, "Relax and rest. God has showered you with blessings.

7 Return to your rest, my soul, For Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.

8 Soul, you've been rescued from death; Eye, you've been rescued from tears; And you, Foot, were kept from stumbling."

8 For you have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.

9 I'm striding in the presence of God, alive in the land of the living!

9 I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living.

10 I stayed faithful, though bedeviled, and despite a ton of bad luck,

10 I believed, therefore I said, "I was greatly afflicted."

11 Despite giving up on the human race, saying, "They're all liars and cheats."

11 I said in my haste, "All men are liars."

12 What can I give back to God for the blessings he's poured out on me?

12 What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me?

13 I'll lift high the cup of salvation - a toast to God! I'll pray in the name of God;

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of Yahweh.

14 I'll complete what I promised God I'd do, and I'll do it together with his people.

14 I will pay my vows to Yahweh, Yes, in the presence of all his people.

15 When they arrive at the gates of death, God welcomes those who love him.

15 Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of his saints.

16 Oh, God, here I am, your servant, your faithful servant: set me free for your service!

16 Yahweh, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains.

17 I'm ready to offer the thanksgiving sacrifice and pray in the name of God.

17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call on the name of Yahweh.

18 I'll complete what I promised God I'd do, and I'll do it in company with his people,

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

19 In the place of worship, in God's house, in Jerusalem, God's city. Hallelujah!

19 In the courts of Yahweh's house, In the midst of you, Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
