Psalms 116

   |   

I Love Yahweh

1 (C1)I love Yahweh, because He (C2)hears
My voice and my supplications.

2 Because He has (C1)inclined His ear to me,
So I shall call upon Him in all my days.

3 The (C1)cords of death encompassed me
And the (F1)distresses of Sheol found me;
I found distress and sorrow.

4 Then (C1)I called upon the name of Yahweh:
"O Yahweh, I beseech You, (F1)(C2)provide my soul escape!"

5 (C1)Gracious is Yahweh, and (C2)righteous;
And our God is (C3)compassionate.

6 Yahweh keeps (C1)the simple;
I was (C2)brought low, and He saved me.

7 Return to your (C1)rest, O my soul,
For Yahweh has (C2)dealt bountifully with you.

8 For You have (C1)rescued my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
My feet from stumbling.

9 I shall walk before Yahweh
In the (F1)(C1)land of the living.

10 I (C1)believed when I said,
"I am (C2)greatly afflicted."

11 I (C1)said in my alarm,
"(C2)All men are liars."

12 What shall I (C1)give to Yahweh in return
For all His (C2)bountiful dealings (F1)with me?

13 I shall lift up the (C1)cup of (F1)salvation
And (C2)call upon the name of Yahweh.

14 I shall (C1)pay my vows to Yahweh,
Oh may it be (C2)in the presence of all His people.

15 (C1)Precious in the sight of Yahweh
Is the death of His holy ones.

16 O Yahweh, (F1)surely I am (C1)Your slave,
I am Your slave, the (C2)son of Your maidservant,
You have (C3)loosed my bonds.

17 To You I shall offer (C1)a sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And (C2)call upon the name of Yahweh.

18 I shall (C1)pay my vows to Yahweh,
Oh may it be in the presence of all His people,

19 In the (C1)courts of the house of Yahweh,
In the midst of you, O (C2)Jerusalem.
(F1)Praise Yah!
