תהילים 116

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

I love the Lord, for he hears my voice, my pleas for mercy.

2 כִּי־הִטָּה אׇזְנוֹ לִי וּבְיָמַי אֶקְרָֽא׃

For he has inclined his ear to me: I will call upon him as long as I live.

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

About me were snares of death, the anguish of Sheol was upon me: distress and sorrow were mine. (Sheol h7585)

4 וּבְשֵֽׁם־יְהֹוָה אֶקְרָא אָנָּה יְהֹוָה מַלְּטָה נַפְשִֽׁי׃

Then I called on the name of the Lord: ‘I beseech you, O Lord, deliver me.’

5 חַנּוּן יְהֹוָה וְצַדִּיק וֵאלֹהֵינוּ מְרַחֵֽם׃

Gracious and just is the Lord, compassionate is our God.

6 שֹׁמֵר פְּתָאיִם יְהֹוָה דַּלֹּתִי וְלִי יְהוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃

The Lord preserves the simple; when I was drooping, he saved me.

7 שׁוּבִי נַפְשִׁי לִמְנוּחָיְכִי כִּֽי־יְהֹוָה גָּמַל עָלָֽיְכִי׃

Be at peace, my heart, once more, for the Lord has been good to you.

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

You have rescued me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

9 אֶתְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה בְּאַרְצוֹת הַחַיִּֽים׃

Before the Lord I will walk in the land of the living.

10 הֶאֱמַנְתִּי כִּי אֲדַבֵּר אֲנִי עָנִיתִי מְאֹֽד׃

I held fast my faith, though I said, ‘Ah me! I am sore afflicted,’

11 אֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי בְחׇפְזִי כׇּֽל־הָאָדָם כֹּזֵֽב׃

though in my alarm I said, ‘Everyone is a liar.’

12 מָה־אָשִׁיב לַיהֹוָה כׇּֽל־תַּגְמוּלוֹהִי עָלָֽי׃

What shall I render the Lord for all his bounty to me?

13 כּוֹס־יְשׁוּעוֹת אֶשָּׂא וּבְשֵׁם יְהֹוָה אֶקְרָֽא׃

I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the Lord.

14 נְדָרַי לַיהֹוָה אֲשַׁלֵּם נֶגְדָה־נָּא לְכׇל־עַמּֽוֹ׃

I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.

15 יָקָר בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָה הַמָּוְתָה לַחֲסִידָֽיו׃

Grave in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his loyal and loved ones.

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

Ah, Lord! I am your servant, your servant, child of your handmaid. You have loosened my bonds.

17 לְֽךָ־אֶזְבַּח זֶבַח תּוֹדָה וּבְשֵׁם יְהֹוָה אֶקְרָֽא׃

I will offer to you a thank-offering, and call on the name of the Lord.

18 נְדָרַי לַיהֹוָה אֲשַׁלֵּם נֶגְדָה־נָּא לְכׇל־עַמּֽוֹ׃

I will pay 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 house of the Lord, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
