Psalms 116
1 I have loved, because YHWH hears My voice, my supplication,
Alleluia. I louede `the Lord; for the Lord schal here the vois of my preier.
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.
For he bowide doun his eere to me; and Y schal inwardli clepe in my daies.
3 Cords of death have surrounded me, And straits of Sheol have found me, I find distress and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
The sorewis of deth cumpassiden me; and the perelis of helle founden me. I foond tribulacioun and sorewe; (Sheol h7585)
4 And in the Name of YHWH I call: Ah, now, O YHWH, deliver my soul,
and Y clepide inwardli the name of the Lord. Thou, Lord, delyuere my soule;
5 YHWH [is] gracious, and righteous, Indeed, our God [is] merciful,
the Lord is merciful, and iust; and oure God doith merci.
6 YHWH [is] a preserver of the simple, I was low, and He gives salvation to me.
And the Lord kepith litle children; Y was mekid, and he delyuerede me.
7 Return, O my soul, to your rest, For YHWH has conferred benefits on you.
Mi soule, turne thou in to thi reste; for the Lord hath do wel to thee.
8 For You have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.
For he hath delyuered my soule fro deth; myn iyen fro wepingis, my feet fro fallyng doun.
9 I habitually walk before YHWH In the lands of the living.
I schal plese the Lord; in the cuntrei of hem that lyuen.
10 I have believed, for I speak, I have been greatly afflicted.
I bileuede, for which thing Y spak; forsoth Y was maad low ful myche.
11 I said in my haste, “Every man [is] a liar.”
I seide in my passing; Ech man is a lier.
12 What do I return to YHWH? All His benefits [are] on me.
What schal Y yelde to the Lord; for alle thingis which he yeldide to me?
13 I lift up the cup of salvation, And in the Name of YHWH I call.
I schal take the cuppe of heelthe; and Y schal inwardli clepe the name of the Lord.
14 Let me complete my vows to YHWH, Now, before all His people.
I schal yelde my vowis to the Lord bifor al his puple;
15 Precious in the eyes of YHWH [is] the death of His saints.
the deth of seyntis of the Lord is precious in his siyt.
16 Ah, now, O YHWH, for I [am] Your servant; I [am] Your servant, son of Your handmaid; You have opened my bonds.
O! Lord, for Y am thi seruant; Y am thi seruaunt, and the sone of thi handmaide. Thou hast broke my bondys,
17 I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks to You, And in the Name of YHWH I call.
to thee Y schal offre a sacrifice of heriyng; and Y schal inwardli clepe the name of the Lord.
18 Let me complete my vows to YHWH, Now, before all His people,
I schal yelde my vowis to the Lord, in the siyt of al his puple;
19 In the courts of the house of YHWH, In your midst, O Jerusalem, praise YAH!
in the porchis of the hous of the Lord, in the myddil of thee, Jerusalem.
