Psalms 116
1 I love Yahweh because he hears my voice and my pleas for mercy.
Alleluia. Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meae.
2 Because he listened to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi: et in diebus meis invocabo.
3 The cords of death surrounded me, and the snares of Sheol confronted me; I felt anguish and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
Circumdederunt me dolores mortis: et pericula inferni invenerunt me. Tribulationem et dolorem inveni: (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I called on the name of Yahweh: “Please Yahweh, rescue my life.”
et nomen Domini invocavi. O Domine libera animam meam:
5 Yahweh is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate.
misericors Dominus, et iustus, et Deus noster miseretur.
6 Yahweh protects the naive; I was brought low, and he saved me.
Custodiens parvulos Dominus: humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.
7 My soul can return to its resting place, for Yahweh has been good to me.
Convertere anima mea in requiem tuam: quia Dominus benefecit tibi.
8 For you rescued my life from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.
Quia eripuit animam meam de morte: oculos meos a lacrymis, pedes meos a lapsu.
9 I will serve Yahweh in the land of the living.
Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.
10 I believed in him, even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”
Alleluia. Credidi, propter quod locutus sum: ego autem humiliatus sum nimis.
11 In my confusion I said, “All men are liars.”
Ego dixi in excessu meo: Omnis homo mendax.
12 How can I repay Yahweh for all his kindnesses to me?
Quid retribuam Domino, pro omnibus, quae retribuit mihi?
13 I will raise the cup of salvation, and call on the name of Yahweh.
Calicem salutaris accipiam: et nomen Domini invocabo.
14 I will fulfill my vows to Yahweh in the presence of all his people.
Vota mea Domino reddam coram omni populo eius:
15 Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of his saints.
pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors Sanctorum eius:
16 Yahweh, indeed, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your servant woman; you have taken away my bonds.
O Domine quia ego servus tuus: ego servus tuus, et filius ancillae tuae. Dirupisti vincula mea:
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and will call on the name of Yahweh.
tibi sacrificabo hostiam laudis, et nomen Domini invocabo.
18 I will fulfill my vows to Yahweh in the presence of all his people,
Vota mea Domino reddam in conspectu omnis populi eius:
19 in the courts of Yahweh's house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise Yahweh.
in atriis domus Domini, in medio tui Ierusalem.
