116:1  I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, And my cries for mercy.

116:2  Because he has turned his ear to me, Therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

116:3  The cords of death surrounded me, The pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.

116:4  Then called I on the name of Yahweh: "Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul."

116:5  Gracious is Yahweh, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful.

116:6  Yahweh preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.

116:7  Return to your rest, my soul, For Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.

116:8  For you have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.

116:9  I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living.

116:10  I believed, therefore I said, "I was greatly afflicted."

116:11  I said in my haste, "All men are liars."

116:12  What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me?

116:13  I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of Yahweh.

116:14  I will pay my vows to Yahweh, Yes, in the presence of all his people.

116:15  Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of his saints.

116:16  Yahweh, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains.

116:17  I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call on the name of Yahweh.

116:18  I will pay my vows to Yahweh, Yes, in the presence of all his people,

116:19  In the courts of Yahweh's house, In the midst of you, Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
