Psalms 116

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

αλληλουια ἠγάπησα ὅτι εἰσακούσεται κύριος τῆς φωνῆς τῆς δεήσεώς μου

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

ὅτι ἔκλινεν τὸ οὖς αὐτοῦ ἐμοί καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις μου ἐπικαλέσομαι

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

περιέσχον με ὠδῖνες θανάτου κίνδυνοι ᾅδου εὕροσάν με θλῖψιν καὶ ὀδύνην εὗρον (Sheol h7585)

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

καὶ τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου ἐπεκαλεσάμην ὦ κύριε ῥῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου

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

ἐλεήμων ὁ κύριος καὶ δίκαιος καὶ ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐλεᾷ

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

φυλάσσων τὰ νήπια ὁ κύριος ἐταπεινώθην καὶ ἔσωσέν με

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

ἐπίστρεψον ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὴν ἀνάπαυσίν σου ὅτι κύριος εὐηργέτησέν σε

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

ὅτι ἐξείλατο τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ θανάτου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου ἀπὸ δακρύων καὶ τοὺς πόδας μου ἀπὸ ὀλισθήματος

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

εὐαρεστήσω ἐναντίον κυρίου ἐν χώρᾳ ζώντων

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

αλληλουια ἐπίστευσα διὸ ἐλάλησα ἐγὼ δὲ ἐταπεινώθην σφόδρα

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

ἐγὼ εἶπα ἐν τῇ ἐκστάσει μου πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ψεύστης

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

τί ἀνταποδώσω τῷ κυρίῳ περὶ πάντων ὧν ἀνταπέδωκέν μοι

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

ποτήριον σωτηρίου λήμψομαι καὶ τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου ἐπικαλέσομαι

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

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

τίμιος ἐναντίον κυρίου ὁ θάνατος τῶν ὁσίων αὐτοῦ

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

ὦ κύριε ἐγὼ δοῦλος σός ἐγὼ δοῦλος σὸς καὶ υἱὸς τῆς παιδίσκης σου διέρρηξας τοὺς δεσμούς μου

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

σοὶ θύσω θυσίαν αἰνέσεως

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

τὰς εὐχάς μου τῷ κυρίῳ ἀποδώσω ἐναντίον παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ

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

ἐν αὐλαῖς οἴκου κυρίου ἐν μέσῳ σου Ιερουσαλημ
