Psalm 116

« Psalm 115 | Psalm 116 | Psalm 117 »

I Love Yahweh

I love Yahweh, because He hears

My voice and my supplications.

2

Because He has inclined His ear to me,

So I shall call upon Him in all my days.

3

The cords of death encompassed me

And the distresses of Sheol found me;

I found distress and sorrow.

4

Then I called upon the name of Yahweh:

“O Yahweh, I beseech You, provide my soul escape!”

5

Gracious is Yahweh, and righteous;

And our God is compassionate.

6

Yahweh keeps the simple;

I was brought low, and He saved me.

7

Return to your rest, O my soul,

For Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.

8

For You have rescued my soul from death,

My eyes from tears,

My feet from stumbling.

9

I shall walk before Yahweh

In the land of the living.

10

I believed when I said,

“I am greatly afflicted.”

11

I said in my alarm,

“All men are liars.”

12

What shall I give to Yahweh in return

For all His bountiful dealings with me?

13

I shall lift up the cup of salvation

And call upon the name of Yahweh.

14

I shall pay my vows to Yahweh,

Oh may it be in the presence of all His people.

15

Precious in the sight of Yahweh

Is the death of His holy ones.

16

O Yahweh, surely I am Your slave,

I am Your slave, the son of Your maidservant,

You have loosed my bonds.

17

To You I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving,

And call upon the name of Yahweh.

18

I shall pay my vows to Yahweh,

Oh may it be in the presence of all His people,

19

In the courts of the house of Yahweh,

In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.

Praise Yah!
