Psalms 116
1 I have loved, because YHWH hears My voice, my supplication,
| אָהַבְתִּי כִּֽי־יִשְׁמַע ׀ יְהוָה אֶת־קוֹלִי תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃ |
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.
| כִּֽי־הִטָּה אָזְנוֹ לִי וּבְיָמַי אֶקְרָֽא׃ |
3 Cords of death have surrounded me, And straits of Sheol have found me, I find distress and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
| אֲפָפוּנִי ׀ חֶבְלֵי־מָוֶת וּמְצָרֵי שְׁאוֹל מְצָאוּנִי צָרָה וְיָגוֹן אֶמְצָֽא׃ (Sheol h7585) |
4 And in the Name of YHWH I call: Ah, now, O YHWH, deliver my soul,
| וּבְשֵֽׁם־יְהוָה אֶקְרָא אָנָּה יְהוָה מַלְּטָה נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
5 YHWH [is] gracious, and righteous, Indeed, our God [is] merciful,
| חַנּוּן יְהֹוָה וְצַדִּיק וֵאלֹהֵינוּ מְרַחֵֽם׃ |
6 YHWH [is] a preserver of the simple, I was low, and He gives salvation to me.
| שֹׁמֵר פְּתָאיִם יְהֹוָה דַּלּוֹתִי וְלִי יְהוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃ |
7 Return, O my soul, to your rest, For YHWH has conferred benefits on you.
| שׁוּבִי נַפְשִׁי לִמְנוּחָיְכִי כִּֽי־יְהוָה גָּמַל עָלָֽיְכִי׃ |
8 For You have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.
| כִּי חִלַּצְתָּ נַפְשִׁי מִמָּוֶת אֶת־עֵינִי מִן־דִּמְעָה אֶת־רַגְלִי מִדֶּֽחִי׃ |
9 I habitually walk before YHWH In the lands of the living.
| אֶתְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה בְּאַרְצוֹת הַֽחַיִּֽים׃ |
10 I have believed, for I speak, I have been greatly afflicted.
| הֶאֱמַנְתִּי כִּי אֲדַבֵּר אֲנִי עָנִיתִי מְאֹֽד׃ |
11 I said in my haste, “Every man [is] a liar.”
| אֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי בְחָפְזִי כָּֽל־הָאָדָם כֹּזֵֽב׃ |
12 What do I return to YHWH? All His benefits [are] on me.
| מָֽה־אָשִׁיב לַיהוָה כָּֽל־תַּגְמוּלוֹהִי עָלָֽי׃ |
13 I lift up the cup of salvation, And in the Name of YHWH I call.
| כּוֹס־יְשׁוּעוֹת אֶשָּׂא וּבְשֵׁם יְהוָה אֶקְרָֽא׃ |
14 Let me complete my vows to YHWH, Now, before all His people.
| נְדָרַי לַיהוָה אֲשַׁלֵּם נֶגְדָה־נָּא לְכָל־עַמּֽוֹ׃ |
15 Precious in the eyes of YHWH [is] the death of His saints.
| יָקָר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה הַמָּוְתָה לַחֲסִידָֽיו׃ |
16 Ah, now, O YHWH, for I [am] Your servant; I [am] Your servant, son of Your handmaid; You have opened my bonds.
| אֽ͏ָנָּה יְהוָה כִּֽי־אֲנִי עַבְדֶּךָ אֲֽנִי־עַבְדְּךָ בֶּן־אֲמָתֶךָ פִּתַּחְתָּ לְמוֹסֵרָֽי׃ |
17 I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks to You, And in the Name of YHWH I call.
| לְֽךָ־אֶזְבַּח זֶבַח תּוֹדָה וּבְשֵׁם יְהוָה אֶקְרָֽא׃ |
18 Let me complete my vows to YHWH, Now, before all His people,
| נְדָרַי לַיהוָה אֲשַׁלֵּם נֶגְדָה־נָּא לְכָל־עַמּֽוֹ׃ |
19 In the courts of the house of YHWH, In your midst, O Jerusalem, praise YAH!
| בְּחַצְרוֹת ׀ בֵּית יְהוָה בְּֽתוֹכֵכִי יְֽרוּשָׁלִָם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ |
