Psalms 116

1 I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voyce and my prayers.

I love YHWH, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

2 For he hath inclined his eare vnto me, whe I did call vpon him in my dayes.

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

3 When the snares of death copassed me, and the griefes of the graue caught me: when I founde trouble and sorowe. (Sheol h7585)

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell got hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

4 Then I called vpon the Name of the Lord, saying, I beseech thee, O Lord, deliuer my soule.

Then called I upon the name of YHWH; O YHWH, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

5 The Lord is mercifull and righteous, and our God is full of compassion.

Gracious is YHWH, and righteous; yea, our Elohim is merciful.

6 The Lord preserueth the simple: I was in miserie and he saued me.

YHWH preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

7 Returne vnto thy rest, O my soule: for the Lord hath bene beneficiall vnto thee,

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for YHWH hath dealt bountifully with thee.

8 Because thou hast deliuered my soule from death, mine eyes from teares, and my feete from falling.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

9 I shall walke before the Lord in the lande of the liuing.

I will walk before YHWH in the land of the living.

10 I beleeued, therefore did I speake: for I was sore troubled.

I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

11 I said in my feare, All men are lyers.

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

12 What shall I render vnto the Lord for all his benefites toward me?

What shall I render unto YHWH for all his benefits toward me?

13 I will take the cup of saluation, and call vpon the Name of the Lord.

I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of YHWH.

14 I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, euen nowe in the presence of all his people.

I will pay my vows unto YHWH now in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saintes.

Precious in the sight of YHWH is the death of his saints.

16 Beholde, Lord: for I am thy seruant, I am thy seruant, and the sonne of thine handmaide: thou hast broken my bondes.

O YHWH, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer to thee a sacrifice of prayse, and will call vpon the Name of the Lord.

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of YHWH.

18 I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, euen nowe in the presence of all his people,

I will pay my vows unto YHWH now in the presence of all his people,

19 In the courtes of ye Lords house, euen in the middes of thee, O Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.

In the courts of YHWH 's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye YHWH.
