< תהילים 116 >

אָהַבְתִּי כִּֽי־יִשְׁמַע ׀ יְהוָה אֶת־קוֹלִי תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃ 1
Alleluia. I am well pleased, because the Lord will listen to the voice of my supplication.
כִּֽי־הִטָּה אָזְנוֹ לִי וּבְיָמַי אֶקְרָֽא׃ 2
Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him while I live.
אֲפָפוּנִי ׀ חֶבְלֵי־מָוֶת וּמְצָרֵי שְׁאוֹל מְצָאוּנִי צָרָה וְיָגוֹן אֶמְצָֽא׃ (Sheol h7585) 3
The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me: I found affliction and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
וּבְשֵֽׁם־יְהוָה אֶקְרָא אָנָּה יְהוָה מַלְּטָה נַפְשִֽׁי׃ 4
Then I called on the name of the Lord: O Lord, deliver my soul.
חַנּוּן יְהֹוָה וְצַדִּיק וֵאלֹהֵינוּ מְרַחֵֽם׃ 5
The Lord is merciful and righteous; yes, our God has pity.
שֹׁמֵר פְּתָאיִם יְהֹוָה דַּלּוֹתִי וְלִי יְהוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃ 6
The Lord preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he delivered me.
שׁוּבִי נַפְשִׁי לִמְנוּחָיְכִי כִּֽי־יְהוָה גָּמַל עָלָֽיְכִי׃ 7
Return to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
כִּי חִלַּצְתָּ נַפְשִׁי מִמָּוֶת אֶת־עֵינִי מִן־דִּמְעָה אֶת־רַגְלִי מִדֶּֽחִי׃ 8
For he has delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
אֶתְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה בְּאַרְצוֹת הַֽחַיִּֽים׃ 9
I shall be well-pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living.
הֶאֱמַנְתִּי כִּי אֲדַבֵּר אֲנִי עָנִיתִי מְאֹֽד׃ 10
Alleluia. I believed, therefore I have spoken: but I was greatly afflicted.
אֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי בְחָפְזִי כָּֽל־הָאָדָם כֹּזֵֽב׃ 11
And I said in mine amazement, Every man is a liar.
מָֽה־אָשִׁיב לַיהוָה כָּֽל־תַּגְמוּלוֹהִי עָלָֽי׃ 12
What shall I render to the Lord for all the things wherein he has rewarded me?
כּוֹס־יְשׁוּעוֹת אֶשָּׂא וּבְשֵׁם יְהוָה אֶקְרָֽא׃ 13
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
נְדָרַי לַיהוָה אֲשַׁלֵּם נֶגְדָה־נָּא לְכָל־עַמּֽוֹ׃ 14
I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people.
יָקָר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה הַמָּוְתָה לַחֲסִידָֽיו׃ 15
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
אֽ͏ָנָּה יְהוָה כִּֽי־אֲנִי עַבְדֶּךָ אֲ‍ֽנִי־עַבְדְּךָ בֶּן־אֲמָתֶךָ פִּתַּחְתָּ לְמוֹסֵרָֽי׃ 16
O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have burst by bonds asunder.
לְֽךָ־אֶזְבַּח זֶבַח תּוֹדָה וּבְשֵׁם יְהוָה אֶקְרָֽא׃ 17
I will offer to you the sacrifice of praise, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
נְדָרַי לַיהוָה אֲשַׁלֵּם נֶגְדָה־נָּא לְכָל־עַמּֽוֹ׃ 18
I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people,
בְּחַצְרוֹת ׀ בֵּית יְהוָה בְּֽתוֹכֵכִי יְֽרוּשָׁלִָם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ 19
in the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of you, Jerusalem.
