UST by section PSA 116:1

The Book of Psalms 116

116 I love Yahweh

because he hears me when I cry to him for help.

2 He listens to me,

so I will call out to him all during my life.

3 Everything around me caused me to think that I would die;

I was very afraid that I would die and go to the place where dead people are.

I was very distressed and afraid.

4 But then I called out to Yahweh, saying,

“Yahweh, I plead with you to save me!”

5 Yahweh is kind and does what is right;

he is our God, and he acts mercifully to us.

6 He protects those who are helpless;

when I thought that I would die, he saved me.

7 I must encourage myself

because Yahweh has done very good things for me.

8 Yahweh has saved me from dying

and has kept me from troubles that would cause me to cry.

He has kept me from disaster.

9 So here on the earth where people are still alive,

I live, knowing that Yahweh is directing me.

10 I continued to believe in Yahweh,

even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”

11 Even when I was distressed and said, “I cannot trust anyone,”

I continued to trust in Yahweh.

12 So now I will tell you what I will offer to Yahweh

because of all the good things that he has done for me.

13 I will offer to him a cup of wine

to thank him for saving me.

14 When I am together with many people who belong to Yahweh,

I will give to him the offerings that I solemnly promised to give to him.

15 Yahweh is very grieved when one of his people dies.

16 I am one of those who serves Yahweh;

I serve him like my mother did.

He has ended my troubles.

17 So I will offer to him a sacrifice to thank him,

and I will pray to him.

18-19 18-19When I am together with many of the people who belong to Yahweh

in the courtyard outside his temple in Jerusalem,

I will give to him the offerings that I solemnly promised to give to him.

Praise Yahweh!
