116:1  I love him, because Yahweh has heard the voice of my supplications.
116:2  Because he has inclined his ear to me, I will call all my days.
116:3  The ropes of death encircled me, and the distresses of Sheol found me. I found trouble and grief.
116:4  Then I called on the name of Yahweh: “O Yahweh, please save my life!”
116:5  Gracious is Yahweh and righteous, and our God is merciful.
116:6  Yahweh watches over the simple. I was brought low, but he gave me victory.
116:7  Return, O my soul, to your repose, for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.
116:8  For you have rescued me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
116:9  I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living.
116:10  I believed when I spoke, “I am afflicted greatly.”
116:11  I said in my haste, “Everyone is a liar.”
116:12  What shall I give back to Yahweh for all his benefits to me?
116:13  I will lift up the cup of salvation and proclaim the name of Yahweh.
116:14  I will pay my vows made to Yahweh in the presence of all his people.
116:15  Costly in Yahweh’s view is the death of his faithful ones.
116:16  Ah, Yahweh, I am indeed your servant; I am your servant, the child of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds.
116:17  I will offer to you a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and proclaim the name of Yahweh.
116:18  I will pay my vows made to Yahweh in the presence of all his people,
116:19  in the courts of the house of Yahweh, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
