תהילים 116

1 אָהַבְתִּי כִּֽי־יִשְׁמַע ׀ יְהוָה אֶת־קוֹלִי תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃

I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.

2 כִּֽי־הִטָּה אָזְנוֹ לִי וּבְיָמַי אֶקְרָֽא׃

Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

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

The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

4 וּבְשֵֽׁם־יְהוָה אֶקְרָא אָנָּה יְהוָה מַלְּטָה נַפְשִֽׁי׃

Then I called on the LORD’s name: “LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul.”

5 חַנּוּן יְהֹוָה וְצַדִּיק וֵאלֹהֵינוּ מְרַחֵֽם׃

The LORD is gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.

6 שֹׁמֵר פְּתָאיִם יְהֹוָה דַּלּוֹתִי וְלִי יְהוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃

The LORD preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.

7 שׁוּבִי נַפְשִׁי לִמְנוּחָיְכִי כִּֽי־יְהוָה גָּמַל עָלָֽיְכִי׃

Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with 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, and my feet from falling.

9 אֶתְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה בְּאַרְצוֹת הַֽחַיִּֽים׃

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 was greatly afflicted.”

11 אֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי בְחָפְזִי כָּֽל־הָאָדָם כֹּזֵֽב׃

I said in my haste, “All people are liars.”

12 מָֽה־אָשִׁיב לַיהוָה כָּֽל־תַּגְמוּלוֹהִי עָלָֽי׃

What will I give to the LORD for all his benefits toward me?

13 כּוֹס־יְשׁוּעוֹת אֶשָּׂא וּבְשֵׁם יְהוָה אֶקְרָֽא׃

I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the LORD’s name.

I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people.

15 יָקָר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה הַמָּוְתָה לַחֲסִידָֽיו׃

Precious in the LORD’s sight is the death of his saints.

16 אֽ͏ָנָּה יְהוָה כִּֽי־אֲנִי עַבְדֶּךָ אֲ‍ֽנִי־עַבְדְּךָ בֶּן־אֲמָתֶךָ פִּתַּחְתָּ לְמוֹסֵרָֽי׃

LORD, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your servant girl. You have freed me from my chains.

17 לְֽךָ־אֶזְבַּח זֶבַח תּוֹדָה וּבְשֵׁם יְהוָה אֶקְרָֽא׃

I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the LORD’s name.

in the courts of the LORD’s house, in the middle of you, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
