Psalms 116
1 I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications;
| אָ֭הַבְתִּי כִּֽי־יִשְׁמַ֥ע ׀ יְהוָ֑ה אֶת־קֹ֝ולִ֗י תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃ |
2 For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during [all] my days.
| כִּֽי־הִטָּ֣ה אָזְנֹ֣ו לִ֑י וּבְיָמַ֥י אֶקְרָֽא׃ |
3 The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow: (Sheol h7585)
| אֲפָפ֤וּנִי ׀ חֶבְלֵי־מָ֗וֶת וּמְצָרֵ֣י שְׁאֹ֣ול מְצָא֑וּנִי צָרָ֖ה וְיָגֹ֣ון אֶמְצָֽא׃ (Sheol h7585) |
4 Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul.
| וּבְשֵֽׁם־יְהוָ֥ה אֶקְרָ֑א אָנָּ֥ה יְ֝הוָ֗ה מַלְּטָ֥ה נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
5 Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful.
| חַנּ֣וּן יְהֹוָ֣ה וְצַדִּ֑יק וֵ֖אלֹהֵ֣ינוּ מְרַחֵֽם׃ |
6 Jehovah keepeth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.
| שֹׁמֵ֣ר פְּתָאיִ֣ם יְהֹוָ֑ה דַּ֝לֹּותִ֗י וְלִ֣י יְהֹושִֽׁיעַ׃ |
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.
| שׁוּבִ֣י נַ֭פְשִׁי לִמְנוּחָ֑יְכִי כִּֽי־יְ֝הוָ֗ה גָּמַ֥ל עָלָֽיְכִי׃ |
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
| כִּ֤י חִלַּ֥צְתָּ נַפְשִׁ֗י מִ֫מָּ֥וֶת אֶת־עֵינִ֥י מִן־דִּמְעָ֑ה אֶת־רַגְלִ֥י מִדֶּֽחִי׃ |
9 I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.
| אֶ֭תְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה בְּ֝אַרְצֹ֗ות הַֽחַיִּֽים׃ |
10 I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted.
| הֶ֭אֱמַנְתִּי כִּ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר אֲ֝נִ֗י עָנִ֥יתִי מְאֹֽד׃ |
11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
| אֲ֭נִי אָמַ֣רְתִּי בְחָפְזִ֑י כָּֽל־הָאָדָ֥ם כֹּזֵֽב׃ |
12 What shall I render unto Jehovah, [for] all his benefits toward me?
| מָֽה־אָשִׁ֥יב לַיהוָ֑ה כָּֽל־תַּגְמוּלֹ֥והִי עָלָֽי׃ |
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah.
| כֹּוס־יְשׁוּעֹ֥ות אֶשָּׂ֑א וּבְשֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָֽא׃ |
14 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people.
| נְ֭דָרַי לַיהוָ֣ה אֲשַׁלֵּ֑ם נֶגְדָה־נָּ֝֗א לְכָל־עַמֹּֽו׃ |
15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.
| יָ֭קָר בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה הַ֝מָּ֗וְתָה לַחֲסִידָֽיו׃ |
16 Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
| אֽ͏ָנָּ֣ה יְהוָה֮ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֪י עַ֫בְדֶּ֥ךָ אֲֽנִי־עַ֭בְדְּךָ בֶּן־אֲמָתֶ֑ךָ פִּ֝תַּ֗חְתָּ לְמֹוסֵרָֽי׃ |
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.
| לְֽךָ־אֶ֭זְבַּח זֶ֣בַח תֹּודָ֑ה וּבְשֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָֽא׃ |
18 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people,
| נְ֭דָרַי לַיהוָ֣ה אֲשַׁלֵּ֑ם נֶגְדָה־נָּ֝֗א לְכָל־עַמֹּֽו׃ |
19 In the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
| בְּחַצְרֹ֤ות ׀ בֵּ֤ית יְהוָ֗ה בְּֽתֹ֘וכֵ֤כִי יְֽרוּשָׁלָ֗͏ִם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ |
