Psalm 116

116 Hallelujah.

I love to know that the Eternal listens

to the voice of my appeal;

2 because he bends his ear to me,

I will pray to him all my life.

3 Death had netted me, in desperate straits,

I was in anguish and despair;

4 so I appealed to the Eternal,

“O thou Eternal, save my life!”

5 Tender and true is the Eternal,

our God indeed is pitiful;

6 the Eternal protects poor souls–

when I am helpless, he is my help.

7 Return to thy rest, O my soul,

for the Eternal has dealt lovingly with thee.

8 Thou has saved my life from death,

mine eyes from tears,

9 I will live mindful of thee now

in the land of the living.

10 Though I cried out, “I am crushed,”

11 thinking, in my distraction, “All men are a failure,”

yet I had faith.

12 Now, what can I render to the Eternal

for all his benefits to me?

13 I will offer a libation for my rescue,

and proclaim the Eternal aloud;

14 I will pay what I vowed to the Eternal,

in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the eyes of the Eternal

is the death of his devoted.

16 Eternal One, I am indeed thy servant,

thy servant, thy retainer;

thou hast delivered me.

17 I will offer thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

and proclaim the Eternal aloud;

18 I will pay what I vowed to the Eternal,

in the presence of all his people,

19 in the courts of the Eternal’s house,

within thee, O Jerusalem.
