Psalms 116

1 I love for he has heard - Yahweh voice my supplications my.

I love the Lord because he listens to me, he hears my calls for help.

2 For he has inclined ear his to me and in days my I will call out.

Because he pays attention to what I say I will pray to him as long as I live.

3 They surrounded me - [the] cords of death and [the] distresses of Sheol they found me trouble and sorrow I found. (Sheol h7585)

I was caught in the snares of death; I was trapped by terrors of the grave. All I experienced was suffering and grief. (Sheol h7585)

Now I can walk with the Lord in the land of the living.

10 I believed for I said I I am afflicted exceedingly.

I trusted in you, so I told you, “I'm suffering terribly!”

11 I I said when was hastening I every person [is] a liar.

I was so upset that I said, “Everyone's a liar!”

12 What? will I give back to Yahweh all benefits his towards me.

What can I give the Lord in return for all he's done for me?
