Psalms 116

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Miqra 'al pi ha-Mesorah
1 I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my supplications.	1 אָהַבְתִּי כִּי־יִשְׁמַע ׀ יְהֹוָהאֶת־קוֹלִי תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃
2 Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.	2 כִּי־הִטָּה אׇזְנוֹ לִיוּבְיָמַי אֶקְרָֽא׃
3 The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish.	3 אֲפָפוּנִי ׀ חֶבְלֵי־מָוֶתוּמְצָרֵי שְׁאוֹל מְצָאוּנִיצָרָה וְיָגוֹן אֶמְצָֽא׃
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: "O LORD, I beseech thee, save my life!"	4 וּבְשֵֽׁם־יְהֹוָה אֶקְרָאאָנָּה יְהֹוָה מַלְּטָה נַפְשִֽׁי׃
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; our God is merciful.	5 חַנּוּן יְהֹוָה וְצַדִּיקוֵאלֹהֵינוּ מְרַחֵֽם׃
6 The LORD preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me.	6 שֹׁמֵר פְּתָאיִם יְהֹוָהדַּלֹּתִי וְלִי יְהוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃
7 Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.	7 שׁוּבִי נַפְשִׁי לִמְנוּחָיְכִיכִּֽי־יְהֹוָה גָּמַל עָלָֽיְכִי׃
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling;	8 כִּי חִלַּצְתָּ נַפְשִׁי מִמָּוֶתאֶת־עֵינִי מִן־דִּמְעָהאֶת־רַגְלִי מִדֶּֽחִי׃
9 I walk before the LORD in the land of the living.	9 אֶתְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָהבְּאַרְצוֹת הַחַיִּֽים׃
10 I kept my faith, even when I said, "I am greatly afflicted";	10 הֶאֱמַנְתִּי כִּי אֲדַבֵּראֲנִי עָנִיתִי מְאֹֽד׃
11 I said in my consternation, "Men are all a vain hope."	11 אֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי בְחׇפְזִיכׇּֽל־הָאָדָם כֹּזֵֽב׃
12 What shall I render to the LORD for all his bounty to me?	12 מָה־אָשִׁיב לַיהֹוָהכׇּֽל־תַּגְמוּלוֹהִי עָלָֽי׃
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD,	13 כּוֹס־יְשׁוּעוֹת אֶשָּׂאוּבְשֵׁם יְהֹוָה אֶקְרָֽא׃
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.	14 נְדָרַי לַיהֹוָה אֲשַׁלֵּםנֶגְדָה־נָּא לְכׇל־עַמּֽוֹ׃
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.	15 יָקָר בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָההַמָּוְתָה לַחֲסִידָֽיו׃
16 O LORD, I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast loosed my bonds.	16 אָנָּה יְהֹוָה כִּֽי־אֲנִי עַבְדֶּךָאֲנִי־עַבְדְּךָ בֶּן־אֲמָתֶךָפִּתַּחְתָּ לְמֽוֹסֵרָֽי׃
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.	17 לְֽךָ־אֶזְבַּח זֶבַח תּוֹדָהוּבְשֵׁם יְהֹוָה אֶקְרָֽא׃
18 I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,	18 נְדָרַי לַיהֹוָה אֲשַׁלֵּםנֶגְדָה־נָּא לְכׇל־עַמּֽוֹ׃
19 in the courts of the house of the LORD, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!	19 בְּחַצְרוֹת ׀ בֵּית יְהֹוָהבְּֽתוֹכֵכִי יְֽרוּשָׁלָ‍ִםהַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
