Psalm 116 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

I Love Yahweh

Psa 116:1

I love Yahweh, because He hears

My voice and my supplications.

Psa 116:2

Because He has inclined His ear to me,

So I shall call upon Him in all my days.

Psa 116:3

The cords of death encompassed me

And the [fn]distresses of Sheol found me;

I found distress and sorrow.

Psa 116:4

Then I called upon the name of Yahweh:

“O Yahweh, I beseech You, [fn]provide my soul escape!”

Psa 116:5

Gracious is Yahweh, and righteous;

And our God is compassionate.

Psa 116:6

Yahweh keeps the simple;

I was brought low, and He saved me.

Psa 116:7

Return to your rest, O my soul,

For Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.

Psa 116:8

For You have rescued my soul from death,

My eyes from tears,

My feet from stumbling.

Psa 116:9

I shall walk before Yahweh

In the [fn]land of the living.

Psa 116:10

I believed when I said,

“I am greatly afflicted.”

Psa 116:11

I said in my alarm,

“All men are liars.”

Psa 116:12

What shall I give to Yahweh in return

For all His bountiful dealings [fn]with me?

Psa 116:13

I shall lift up the cup of [fn]salvation

And call upon the name of Yahweh.

Psa 116:14

I shall pay my vows to Yahweh,

Oh may it be in the presence of all His people.

Psa 116:15

Precious in the sight of Yahweh

Is the death of His holy ones.

Psa 116:16

O Yahweh, [fn]surely I am Your slave,

I am Your slave, the son of Your maidservant,

You have loosed my bonds.

Psa 116:17

To You I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving,

And call upon the name of Yahweh.

Psa 116:18

I shall pay my vows to Yahweh,

Oh may it be in the presence of all His people,

Psa 116:19

In the courts of the house of Yahweh,

In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.

[fn]Praise Yah!
