PSALMS. 116. I love Yahweh, because he hears me when I cry for him to help me. He listens to me, so I will call out to him all during my life. Everything around me MET 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/worried and afraid. But then I called out to Yahweh, saying, “Yahweh, I plead with you to save/rescue me!” Yahweh is kind and does what is right; he is our God, and he acts mercifully to us. He protects those who ◄are helpless/cannot defend themselves►; and when I thought that I would die, he saved me. I must encourage/tell myself to ◄have inner peace/not worry anymore►, because Yahweh has done very good things for me. Yahweh has saved me SYN from dying, and has kept/protected me from troubles that would cause me to cry. He has kept/protected me from stumbling. So here on the earth, where people are still alive, I live knowing that Yahweh is directing me. I continued to believe/trust in Yahweh, even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted/troubled.” Even when I was distressed/worried and said, “I cannot trust anyone,” I continued to trust in Yahweh. So now I will tell you RHQ what I will offer to Yahweh, because of all the good things that he has done for me. I will offer to him a cup of wine to thank him for saving/rescuing me. When I am together with many HYP people who belong to Yahweh, I will give to him the offerings that I solemnly promised to give to him. Yahweh is very grieved/sad when one of his people dies. I am one of those who serve Yahweh; I serve him like my mother did. He has freed/saved me from dying (OR, from being fastened by chains). So I will offer to him a sacrifice to thank him, and I will pray to him. When I am together with many of HYP 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!
