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 te
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 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 lacrimis 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 disrupisti 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 in nomine 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 Hierusalem
