Psalms 116
1I loveH157 the LORDH3068, forH3588 He has heardH8085 my voiceH6963— my appeal for mercyH8469.2BecauseH3588 He has inclinedH5186 His earH241 to me, I will call on HimH7121 as long as I liveH3117.
3The ropesH2256 of deathH4194 entangled meH661;the anguishH4712 of SheolH7585 overcame meH4672;I was confrontedH4672 by troubleH6869 and sorrowH3015.4Then I calledH7121H577 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068:“O LORDH3068, deliverH4422 my soulH5315!”
5The LORDH3068 is graciousH2587 and righteousH6662;our GodH430 is full of compassionH7355.6The LORDH3068 preservesH8104 the simpleheartedH6612;I was helplessH1809, and He saved meH3467.7Return to your restH7725, O my soulH5315H4496,forH3588 the LORDH3068 has been goodH1580 to youH5921.8ForH3588 You have deliveredH2502 my soulH5315 fromH4480 deathH4194,my eyesH5869 from tearsH1832, my feetH7272 from stumblingH1762.
9I will walkH1980 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068in the landH776 of the livingH2416.10I believedH539, thereforeH3588 I saidH1696,1“IH589 am greatlyH3966 afflictedH6031.”11In my alarmH2648 IH589 saidH559,“AllH3605 menH120 are liarsH3576!”
12HowH4100 can I repayH7725 the LORDH3068for allH3605 His goodnessH8408 to meH5921?13I will liftH5375 the cupH3563 of salvationH3444and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.14I will fulfillH7999 my vowsH5088 to the LORDH3068in the presence ofH5048H4994 allH3605 His peopleH5971.
15PreciousH3368 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068is the deathH4194 of His saintsH2623.16TrulyH577H3588, O LORDH3068, IH589 am Your servantH5650;IH589 am Your servantH5650, the sonH1121 of Your maidservantH519;You have brokenH6605 my bondsH4147.
17I will offerH2076 to You a sacrificeH2077 of thanksgivingH8426and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.18I will fulfillH7999 my vowsH5088 to the LORDH3068in the presenceH5048H4994 of allH3605 His peopleH5971,19in the courtsH2691 of the LORD’sH3068 houseH1004,in your midstH8432, O JerusalemH3389.
