< Psalms 116 >

1 I love Yahweh—because he heareth my voice, my supplications;
Alleluia. Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meae.
2 Because he hath bowed down his ear unto me, therefore, throughout my days, will I call.
Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi: et in diebus meis invocabo.
3 The meshes of death encompassed me, and the distresses of hades, came upon me, Peril and sorrow, I found; (Sheol h7585)
Circumdederunt me dolores mortis: et pericula inferni invenerunt me. Tribulationem et dolorem inveni: (Sheol h7585)
4 But, on the Name of Yahweh, I called—I beseech thee, Yahweh, deliver my soul.
et nomen Domini invocavi. O Domine libera animam meam:
5 Gracious is Yahweh and righteous, and, our God, is full of compassion.
misericors Dominus, et iustus, et Deus noster miseretur.
6 Yahweh, preserveth the simple, I was brought low, when, to me, he granted salvation.
Custodiens parvulos Dominus: humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.
7 Return, O my soul, to thy rest, For, Yahweh, hath dealt bountifully with thee.
Convertere anima mea in requiem tuam: quia Dominus benefecit tibi.
8 For thou hast rescued my soul from death, —mine eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
Quia eripuit animam meam de morte: oculos meos a lacrymis, pedes meos a lapsu.
9 I will walk to and fro before Yahweh, in the lands of life.
Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.
10 I believed that I should speak, I, was greatly depressed.
Alleluia. Credidi, propter quod locutus sum: ego autem humiliatus sum nimis.
11 I, said in mine alarm, All men, are false!
Ego dixi in excessu meo: Omnis homo mendax.
12 How shall I give back to Yahweh, All his benefits unto me?
Quid retribuam Domino, pro omnibus, quae retribuit mihi?
13 The cup of salvation, will I lift, and, on the Name of Yahweh, will I call:
Calicem salutaris accipiam: et nomen Domini invocabo.
14 My vows—to Yahweh, will I pay, Might it be in presence of all his people!
Vota mea Domino reddam coram omni populo eius:
15 Costly in the eyes of Yahweh, is, death, for his men of lovingkindness.
pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors Sanctorum eius:
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.
O Domine quia ego servus tuus: ego servus tuus, et filius ancillae tuae. Dirupisti vincula mea:
17 To thee, will I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and, on the Name of Yahweh, will I call:
tibi sacrificabo hostiam laudis, et nomen Domini invocabo.
18 My vows—to Yahweh, will I pay, Might it be in the presence of all his people; —
Vota mea Domino reddam in conspectu omnis populi eius:
19 In the courts of the house of Yahweh, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Yah!
in atriis domus Domini, in medio tui Ierusalem.
