Psalms 116

WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[1] I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, And my cries for mercy. [2] Because he has turned his ear to me, Therefore I will call on him as long as I live. [3] The cords of death surrounded me, The pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow. [4] Then called I on the name of Yahweh: "Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul." [5] Gracious is Yahweh, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful. [6] Yahweh preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me. [7] Return to your rest, my soul, For Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you. [8] For you have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling. [9] I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living. [10] I believed, therefore I said, "I was greatly afflicted." [11] I said in my haste, "All men are liars." [12] What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me? [13] I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of Yahweh. [14] I will pay my vows to Yahweh, Yes, in the presence of all his people. [15] Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of his saints. [16] Yahweh, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains. [17] I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call on the name of Yahweh. [18] I will pay my vows to Yahweh, Yes, in the presence of all his people, [19] In the courts of Yahweh's house, In the midst of you, Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
