Psalms 116
1 I love that the LORD should hear my voice and my supplications.
| אָ֭הַבְתִּי כִּֽי־יִשְׁמַ֥ע ׀ יְהוָ֑ה אֶת־קֹ֝ולִ֗י תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃ |
2 Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him all my days.
| כִּֽי־הִטָּ֣ה אָזְנֹ֣ו לִ֑י וּבְיָמַ֥י אֶקְרָֽא׃ |
3 The cords of death compassed me, and the straits of the nether-world got hold upon me; I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
| אֲפָפ֤וּנִי ׀ חֶבְלֵי־מָ֗וֶת וּמְצָרֵ֣י שְׁאֹ֣ול מְצָא֑וּנִי צָרָ֖ה וְיָגֹ֣ון אֶמְצָֽא׃ (Sheol h7585) |
4 But I called upon the name of the LORD: 'I beseech thee, O LORD, deliver my soul.'
| וּבְשֵֽׁם־יְהוָ֥ה אֶקְרָ֑א אָנָּ֥ה יְ֝הוָ֗ה מַלְּטָ֥ה נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is compassionate.
| חַנּ֣וּן יְהֹוָ֣ה וְצַדִּ֑יק וֵ֖אלֹהֵ֣ינוּ מְרַחֵֽם׃ |
6 The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.
| שֹׁמֵ֣ר פְּתָאיִ֣ם יְהֹוָ֑ה דַּ֝לֹּותִ֗י וְלִ֣י יְהֹושִֽׁיעַ׃ |
7 Return, O my soul, unto Thy rest; for the LORD 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, and my feet from stumbling.
| כִּ֤י חִלַּ֥צְתָּ נַפְשִׁ֗י מִ֫מָּ֥וֶת אֶת־עֵינִ֥י מִן־דִּמְעָ֑ה אֶת־רַגְלִ֥י מִדֶּֽחִי׃ |
9 I shall walk before the LORD in the lands of the living.
| אֶ֭תְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה בְּ֝אַרְצֹ֗ות הַֽחַיִּֽים׃ |
10 I trusted even when I spoke: 'I am 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 How can I repay unto the LORD all His bountiful dealings toward me?
| מָֽה־אָשִׁ֥יב לַיהוָ֑ה כָּֽל־תַּגְמוּלֹ֥והִי עָלָֽי׃ |
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
| כֹּוס־יְשׁוּעֹ֥ות אֶשָּׂ֑א וּבְשֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָֽא׃ |
14 My vows will I pay unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all His people.
| נְ֭דָרַי לַיהוָ֣ה אֲשַׁלֵּ֑ם נֶגְדָה־נָּ֝֗א לְכָל־עַמֹּֽו׃ |
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.
| יָ֭קָר בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה הַ֝מָּ֗וְתָה לַחֲסִידָֽיו׃ |
16 I beseech Thee, O LORD, for I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bands.
| 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 the LORD.
| לְֽךָ־אֶ֭זְבַּח זֶ֣בַח תֹּודָ֑ה וּבְשֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָֽא׃ |
18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all His people;
| נְ֭דָרַי לַיהוָ֣ה אֲשַׁלֵּ֑ם נֶגְדָה־נָּ֝֗א לְכָל־עַמֹּֽו׃ |
19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
| בְּחַצְרֹ֤ות ׀ בֵּ֤ית יְהוָ֗ה בְּֽתֹ֘וכֵ֤כִי יְֽרוּשָׁלָ֗͏ִם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ |
