Psalms 116:1-14 ▼

1 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.
