תהילים 116

1 אָהַבְתִּי כִּי־יִשְׁמַע ׀ יְהֹוָה אֶת־קוֹלִי תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃

I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice— my appeal for mercy.

2 כִּי־הִטָּה אׇזְנוֹ לִי וּבְיָמַי אֶקְרָֽא׃

Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live.

3 אֲפָפוּנִי ׀ חֶבְלֵי־מָוֶת וּמְצָרֵי שְׁאוֹל מְצָאוּנִי צָרָה וְיָגוֹן אֶמְצָֽא׃ (Sheol h7585)

The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

4 וּבְשֵֽׁם־יְהֹוָה אֶקְרָא אָנָּה יְהֹוָה מַלְּטָה נַפְשִֽׁי׃

Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, deliver my soul!”

5 חַנּוּן יְהֹוָה וְצַדִּיק וֵאלֹהֵינוּ מְרַחֵֽם׃

The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.

6 שֹׁמֵר פְּתָאיִם יְהֹוָה דַּלֹּתִי וְלִי יְהוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃

The LORD preserves the simplehearted; I was helpless, and He saved me.

7 שׁוּבִי נַפְשִׁי לִמְנוּחָיְכִי כִּֽי־יְהֹוָה גָּמַל עָלָֽיְכִי׃

Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.

8 כִּי חִלַּצְתָּ נַפְשִׁי מִמָּוֶת אֶת־עֵינִי מִן־דִּמְעָה אֶת־רַגְלִי מִדֶּֽחִי׃

For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

9 אֶתְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה בְּאַרְצוֹת הַחַיִּֽים׃

I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

10 הֶאֱמַנְתִּי כִּי אֲדַבֵּר אֲנִי עָנִיתִי מְאֹֽד׃

I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”

11 אֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי בְחׇפְזִי כׇּֽל־הָאָדָם כֹּזֵֽב׃

In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!”

12 מָה־אָשִׁיב לַיהֹוָה כׇּֽל־תַּגְמוּלוֹהִי עָלָֽי׃

How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me?

13 כּוֹס־יְשׁוּעוֹת אֶשָּׂא וּבְשֵׁם יְהֹוָה אֶקְרָֽא׃

I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.

14 נְדָרַי לַיהֹוָה אֲשַׁלֵּם נֶגְדָה־נָּא לְכׇל־עַמּֽוֹ׃

I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people.

15 יָקָר בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָה הַמָּוְתָה לַחֲסִידָֽיו׃

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.

16 אָנָּה יְהֹוָה כִּֽי־אֲנִי עַבְדֶּךָ אֲנִי־עַבְדְּךָ בֶּן־אֲמָתֶךָ פִּתַּחְתָּ לְמֽוֹסֵרָֽי׃

Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds.

17 לְֽךָ־אֶזְבַּח זֶבַח תּוֹדָה וּבְשֵׁם יְהֹוָה אֶקְרָֽא׃

I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.

18 נְדָרַי לַיהֹוָה אֲשַׁלֵּם נֶגְדָה־נָּא לְכׇל־עַמּֽוֹ׃

I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people,

19 בְּחַצְרוֹת ׀ בֵּית יְהֹוָה בְּֽתוֹכֵכִי יְֽרוּשָׁלָ͏ִם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃

in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
