Psalms 116
1 I love Yahweh—because he heareth my voice, my supplications;
αλληλουια ἠγάπησα ὅτι εἰσακούσεται κύριος τῆς φωνῆς τῆς δεήσεώς μου
2 Because he hath bowed down his ear unto me, therefore, throughout my days, will I call.
ὅτι ἔκλινεν τὸ οὖς αὐτοῦ ἐμοί καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις μου ἐπικαλέσομαι
3 The meshes of death encompassed me, and the distresses of hades, came upon me, Peril and sorrow, I found; (Sheol h7585)
περιέσχον με ὠδῖνες θανάτου κίνδυνοι ᾅδου εὕροσάν με θλῖψιν καὶ ὀδύνην εὗρον (Sheol h7585)
4 But, on the Name of Yahweh, I called—I beseech thee, Yahweh, deliver my soul.
καὶ τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου ἐπεκαλεσάμην ὦ κύριε ῥῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου
5 Gracious is Yahweh and righteous, and, our God, is full of compassion.
ἐλεήμων ὁ κύριος καὶ δίκαιος καὶ ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐλεᾷ
6 Yahweh, preserveth the simple, I was brought low, when, to me, he granted salvation.
φυλάσσων τὰ νήπια ὁ κύριος ἐταπεινώθην καὶ ἔσωσέν με
7 Return, O my soul, to thy rest, For, Yahweh, hath dealt bountifully with thee.
ἐπίστρεψον ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὴν ἀνάπαυσίν σου ὅτι κύριος εὐηργέτησέν σε
8 For thou hast rescued my soul from death, —mine eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
ὅτι ἐξείλατο τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ θανάτου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου ἀπὸ δακρύων καὶ τοὺς πόδας μου ἀπὸ ὀλισθήματος
9 I will walk to and fro before Yahweh, in the lands of life.
εὐαρεστήσω ἐναντίον κυρίου ἐν χώρᾳ ζώντων
10 I believed that I should speak, I, was greatly depressed.
αλληλουια ἐπίστευσα διὸ ἐλάλησα ἐγὼ δὲ ἐταπεινώθην σφόδρα
11 I, said in mine alarm, All men, are false!
ἐγὼ εἶπα ἐν τῇ ἐκστάσει μου πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ψεύστης
12 How shall I give back to Yahweh, All his benefits unto me?
τί ἀνταποδώσω τῷ κυρίῳ περὶ πάντων ὧν ἀνταπέδωκέν μοι
13 The cup of salvation, will I lift, and, on the Name of Yahweh, will I call:
ποτήριον σωτηρίου λήμψομαι καὶ τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου ἐπικαλέσομαι
14 My vows—to Yahweh, will I pay, Might it be in presence of all his people!
15 Costly in the eyes of Yahweh, is, death, for his men of lovingkindness.
τίμιος ἐναντίον κυρίου ὁ θάνατος τῶν ὁσίων αὐτοῦ
16 I beseech thee, O Yahweh—for, I, am thy servant, —I, am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid, Thou hast loosened my bonds.
ὦ κύριε ἐγὼ δοῦλος σός ἐγὼ δοῦλος σὸς καὶ υἱὸς τῆς παιδίσκης σου διέρρηξας τοὺς δεσμούς μου
17 To thee, will I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and, on the Name of Yahweh, will I call:
σοὶ θύσω θυσίαν αἰνέσεως
18 My vows—to Yahweh, will I pay, Might it be in the presence of all his people; —
τὰς εὐχάς μου τῷ κυρίῳ ἀποδώσω ἐναντίον παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ
19 In the courts of the house of Yahweh, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Yah!
ἐν αὐλαῖς οἴκου κυρίου ἐν μέσῳ σου Ιερουσαλημ
