Ps 116

II love the Lord, for He has heard my voice—my appeal for mercy. (LXX 114:1; Rahlfs 114:1) אָ֭הַבְתִּי כִּֽי־יִשְׁמַ֥ע ׀ יְהוָ֑ה אֶת־ק֝וֹלִ֗י תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃ 2Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live. (LXX 114:2; Rahlfs 114:2) כִּֽי־הִטָּ֣ה אָזְנ֣וֹ לִ֑י וּבְיָמַ֥י אֶקְרָֽא׃ 3The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow. (LXX 114:3; Rahlfs 114:3) אֲפָפ֤וּנִי ׀ חֶבְלֵי־מָ֗וֶת וּמְצָרֵ֣י שְׁא֣וֹל מְצָא֑וּנִי צָרָ֖ה וְיָג֣וֹן אֶמְצָֽא׃ 4Then I called on the name of the Lord: “O Lord, deliver my soul!” (LXX 114:4; Rahlfs 114:4) וּבְשֵֽׁם־יְהוָ֥ה אֶקְרָ֑א אָנָּ֥ה יְ֝הוָ֗ה מַלְּטָ֥ה נַפְשִֽׁי׃ 5The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. (LXX 114:5; Rahlfs 114:5) חַנּ֣וּן יְהֹוָ֣ה וְצַדִּ֑יק וֵ֖אלֹהֵ֣ינוּ מְרַחֵֽם׃ 6The Lord preserves the simplehearted; I was helpless, and He saved me. (LXX 114:6; Rahlfs 114:6) שֹׁמֵ֣ר פְּתָאיִ֣ם יְהֹוָ֑ה דַּ֝לּוֹתִ֗י וְלִ֣י יְהוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃ 7Return to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you. (LXX 114:7; Rahlfs 114:7) שׁוּבִ֣י נַ֭פְשִׁי לִמְנוּחָ֑יְכִי כִּֽי־יְ֝הוָ֗ה גָּמַ֥ל עָלָֽיְכִי׃ 8For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. (LXX 114:8; Rahlfs 114:8) כִּ֤י חִלַּ֥צְתָּ נַפְשִׁ֗י מִ֫מָּ֥וֶת אֶת־עֵינִ֥י מִן־דִּמְעָ֑ה אֶת־רַגְלִ֥י מִדֶּֽחִי׃ 9I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. (LXX 114:9; Rahlfs 114:9) אֶ֭תְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה בְּ֝אַרְצ֗וֹת הַֽחַיִּֽים׃ 10I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.” (LXX 115:1; Rahlfs 115:1) הֶ֭אֱמַנְתִּי כִּ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר אֲ֝נִ֗י עָנִ֥יתִי מְאֹֽד׃ 11In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!” (LXX 115:2; Rahlfs 115:2) אֲ֭נִי אָמַ֣רְתִּי בְחָפְזִ֑י כָּֽל־הָאָדָ֥ם כֹּזֵֽב׃ 12How can I repay the Lord for all His goodness to me? (LXX 115:3; Rahlfs 115:3) מָֽה־אָשִׁ֥יב לַיהוָ֑ה כָּֽל־תַּגְמוּל֥וֹהִי עָלָֽי׃ 13I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord. (LXX 115:4; Rahlfs 115:4) כּוֹס־יְשׁוּע֥וֹת אֶשָּׂ֑א וּבְשֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָֽא׃ 14I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all His people. (LXX 115:5; Rahlfs 115:5) נְ֭דָרַי לַיהוָ֣ה אֲשַׁלֵּ֑ם נֶגְדָה־נָּ֝֗א לְכָל־עַמּֽוֹ׃ 15Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. (Rahlfs 115:6) יָ֭קָר בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה הַ֝מָּ֗וְתָה לַחֲסִידָֽיו׃ 16Truly, O Lord, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds. (LXX 115:7; Rahlfs 115:7) אָֽנָּ֣ה יְהוָה֮ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֪י עַ֫בְדֶּ֥ךָ אֲֽנִי־עַ֭בְדְּךָ בֶּן־אֲמָתֶ֑ךָ פִּ֝תַּ֗חְתָּ לְמוֹסֵרָֽי׃ 17I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord. (LXX 115:8; Rahlfs 115:8) לְֽךָ־אֶ֭זְבַּח זֶ֣בַח תּוֹדָ֑ה וּבְשֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָֽא׃ 18I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all His people, (LXX 115:9; Rahlfs 115:9) נְ֭דָרַי לַיהוָ֣ה אֲשַׁלֵּ֑ם נֶגְדָה־נָּ֝֗א לְכָל־עַמּֽוֹ׃ 19in the courts of the Lord’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah! (LXX 115:10; Rahlfs 115:10) בְּחַצְר֤וֹת ׀ בֵּ֤ית יְהוָ֗ה בְּֽת֘וֹכֵ֤כִי יְֽרוּשָׁלִָ֗ם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
