Psalms 116

1 I have loved, because YHWH hears My voice, my supplication,

I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voyce and my prayers.

2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.

For he hath inclined his eare vnto me, whe I did call vpon him in my dayes.

3 Cords of death have surrounded me, And straits of Sheol have found me, I find distress and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

When the snares of death copassed me, and the griefes of the graue caught me: when I founde trouble and sorowe. (Sheol h7585)

4 And in the Name of YHWH I call: Ah, now, O YHWH, deliver my soul,

Then I called vpon the Name of the Lord, saying, I beseech thee, O Lord, deliuer my soule.

5 YHWH [is] gracious, and righteous, Indeed, our God [is] merciful,

The Lord is mercifull and righteous, and our God is full of compassion.

6 YHWH [is] a preserver of the simple, I was low, and He gives salvation to me.

The Lord preserueth the simple: I was in miserie and he saued me.

7 Return, O my soul, to your rest, For YHWH has conferred benefits on you.

Returne vnto thy rest, O my soule: for the Lord hath bene beneficiall vnto thee,

8 For You have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.

Because thou hast deliuered my soule from death, mine eyes from teares, and my feete from falling.

9 I habitually walk before YHWH In the lands of the living.

I shall walke before the Lord in the lande of the liuing.

10 I have believed, for I speak, I have been greatly afflicted.

I beleeued, therefore did I speake: for I was sore troubled.

11 I said in my haste, “Every man [is] a liar.”

I said in my feare, All men are lyers.

12 What do I return to YHWH? All His benefits [are] on me.

What shall I render vnto the Lord for all his benefites toward me?

13 I lift up the cup of salvation, And in the Name of YHWH I call.

I will take the cup of saluation, and call vpon the Name of the Lord.

14 Let me complete my vows to YHWH, Now, before all His people.

I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, euen nowe in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the eyes of YHWH [is] the death of His saints.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saintes.

16 Ah, now, O YHWH, for I [am] Your servant; I [am] Your servant, son of Your handmaid; You have opened my bonds.

Beholde, Lord: for I am thy seruant, I am thy seruant, and the sonne of thine handmaide: thou hast broken my bondes.

17 I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks to You, And in the Name of YHWH I call.

I will offer to thee a sacrifice of prayse, and will call vpon the Name of the Lord.

18 Let me complete my vows to YHWH, Now, before all His people,

I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, euen nowe in the presence of all his people,

19 In the courts of the house of YHWH, In your midst, O Jerusalem, praise YAH!

In the courtes of ye Lords house, euen in the middes of thee, O Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
