Psalm 116 (WEBP)

[1] I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.
[2] Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
[3] The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.
[4] Then I called on Yahweh’s name: “Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul.”
[5] Yahweh is gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.
[6] Yahweh preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.
[7] Return to your rest, my soul, for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.
[8] For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
[9] I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living.
[10] I believed, therefore I said, “I was greatly afflicted.”
[11] I said in my haste, “All people are liars.”
[12] What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me?
[13] I will take the cup of salvation, and call on Yahweh’s name.
[14] I will pay my vows to Yahweh, yes, in the presence of all his people.
[15] Precious in Yahweh’s sight is the death of his saints.
[16] Yahweh, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your servant girl. You have freed me from my chains.
[17] I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on Yahweh’s name.
[18] I will pay my vows to Yahweh, yes, in the presence of all his people,
[19] in the courts of Yahweh’s house, in the middle of you, Jerusalem. Praise Yah!

[1] [114:1] αλληλουια ηγαπησα οτι εισακουσεται κυριος της φωνης της δεησεως μου
[2] [114:2] οτι εκλινεν το ους αυτου εμοι και εν ταις ημεραις μου επικαλεσομαι
[3] [114:3] περιεσχον με ωδινες θανατου κινδυνοι αδου ευροσαν με θλιψιν και οδυνην ευρον
[4] [114:4] και το ονομα κυριου επεκαλεσαμην ω κυριε ρυσαι την ψυχην μου
[5] [114:5] ελεημων ο κυριος και δικαιος και ο θεος ημων ελεα
[6] [114:6] φυλασσων τα νηπια ο κυριος εταπεινωθην και εσωσεν με
[7] [114:7] επιστρεψον η ψυχη μου εις την αναπαυσιν σου οτι κυριος ευηργετησεν σε
[8] [114:8] οτι εξειλατο την ψυχην μου εκ θανατου τους οφθαλμους μου απο δακρυων και τους ποδας μου απο ολισθηματος
