Psalms 116 — TOJB

116Verse 1I love Hashem, because He hath heard
my kol (voice), even my techinnah.
^{Verse 2}Because He hath inclined His ozen (ear) unto me,
therefore will I call upon Him while I have days.
^{Verse 3}Chevlei mavet (pangs of death) encompassed me,
and the metzarei She'ol (confines, straitnesses of She'ol) have caught up with me and found me;
tzoros and yagon (sorrow) I found.
^{Verse 4}Then called I b'Shem Hashem:
O Hashem, save my nefesh!^{Verse 5}Channun (gracious) is Hashem, and tzaddik;
yes, Eloheinu is merciful.
^{Verse 6}Hashem is shomer over the petayim (simple-hearted, helpless);
I was in need and li yehoshia (me He saved).
^{Verse 7}Return, my nefesh, to thy menuchah (rest, resting place);
for Hashem hath dealt bountifully with thee.^{Verse 8}For Thou hast saved my nefesh from mavet (death),
mine eye from dimah (tears),
and mine regel (foot) from stumbling.
^{Verse 9}I will walk before Hashem
in the Artzot HaChayim (the Land of the Living).^{+
Verse 10}He'emaneti (I believed);
therefore have I spoken; I was greatly afflicted.
^{Verse 11}I said in my chafaz (haste, alarm, consternation),
Kol HaAdam Kozev (all men are liars).^{Verse 12}How shall I repay Hashem
for all His benefits to me?
^{Verse 13}I will raise the Kos Yeshu'ot (the Cup of Salvation),
and call upon Hashem b'Shem (by Name).
^{Verse 14}I will fulfill my nederim (vows) unto Hashem now
in the presence of all His people.^{Verse 15}Precious in the eyes of Hashem
is the mavet of His Chasidim.
^{Verse 16}O Hashem, truly I am Thy eved;
I am Thy eved, ben amatecha (the son of Thy maid servant);
Thou hast removed my chains.
^{Verse 17}I will sacrifice to Thee the zevach todah (the thanksgiving offering)
and will call on the Shem Hashem.
^{Verse 18}I will fulfill my nederim to Hashem now
in the presence of all His people.
^{Verse 19}In the khatzerot Beis Hashem,
in the midst of thee, O Yerushalayim.
Praise ye Hashem.
