Psalms 116
1 I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voyce and my prayers.
I love Yahweh—because he heareth my voice, my supplications;
2 For he hath inclined his eare vnto me, whe I did call vpon him in my dayes.
Because he hath bowed down his ear unto me, therefore, throughout my days, will I call.
3 When the snares of death copassed me, and the griefes of the graue caught me: when I founde trouble and sorowe. (Sheol h7585)
The meshes of death encompassed me, and the distresses of hades, came upon me, Peril and sorrow, I found; (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I called vpon the Name of the Lord, saying, I beseech thee, O Lord, deliuer my soule.
But, on the Name of Yahweh, I called—I beseech thee, Yahweh, deliver my soul.
5 The Lord is mercifull and righteous, and our God is full of compassion.
Gracious is Yahweh and righteous, and, our God, is full of compassion.
6 The Lord preserueth the simple: I was in miserie and he saued me.
Yahweh, preserveth the simple, I was brought low, when, to me, he granted salvation.
7 Returne vnto thy rest, O my soule: for the Lord hath bene beneficiall vnto thee,
Return, O my soul, to thy rest, For, Yahweh, hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8 Because thou hast deliuered my soule from death, mine eyes from teares, and my feete from falling.
For thou hast rescued my soul from death, —mine eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9 I shall walke before the Lord in the lande of the liuing.
I will walk to and fro before Yahweh, in the lands of life.
10 I beleeued, therefore did I speake: for I was sore troubled.
I believed that I should speak, I, was greatly depressed.
11 I said in my feare, All men are lyers.
I, said in mine alarm, All men, are false!
12 What shall I render vnto the Lord for all his benefites toward me?
How shall I give back to Yahweh, All his benefits unto me?
13 I will take the cup of saluation, and call vpon the Name of the Lord.
The cup of salvation, will I lift, and, on the Name of Yahweh, will I call:
14 I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, euen nowe in the presence of all his people.
My vows—to Yahweh, will I pay, Might it be in presence of all his people!
15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saintes.
Costly in the eyes of Yahweh, is, death, for his men of lovingkindness.
16 Beholde, Lord: for I am thy seruant, I am thy seruant, and the sonne of thine handmaide: thou hast broken my bondes.
I beseech thee, O Yahweh—for, I, am thy servant, —I, am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid, Thou hast loosened my bonds.
17 I will offer to thee a sacrifice of prayse, and will call vpon the Name of the Lord.
To thee, will I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and, on the Name of Yahweh, will I call:
18 I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, euen nowe in the presence of all his people,
My vows—to Yahweh, will I pay, Might it be in the presence of all his people; —
19 In the courtes of ye Lords house, euen in the middes of thee, O Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
In the courts of the house of Yahweh, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Yah!
