116:1  I love that Adonai heard my voice when I prayed;
116:2  because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
116:3  The cords of death were all around me, Sh’ol’s constrictions held me fast; I was finding only distress and anguish.
116:4  But I called on the name of Adonai: “Please, Adonai! Save me!”
116:5  Adonai is merciful and righteous; yes, our God is compassionate.
116:6  Adonai preserves the thoughtless; when I was brought low, he saved me.
116:7  My soul, return to your rest! For Adonai has been generous toward you.
116:8  Yes, you have rescued me from death, my eyes from tears and my feet from falling.
116:9  I will go on walking in the presence of Adonai in the lands of the living.
116:10  I will keep on trusting even when I say, “I am utterly miserable,”
116:11  even when, in my panic, I declare, “Everything human is deceptive.”
116:12  How can I repay Adonai for all his generous dealings with me?
116:13  I will raise the cup of salvation and call on the name of Adonai.
116:14  I will pay my vows to Adonai in the presence of all his people.
116:15  From Adonai’s point of view, the death of those faithful to him is costly.
116:16  Oh, Adonai! I am your slave; I am your slave, the son of your slave-girl; you have removed my fetters.
116:17  I will offer a sacrifice of thanks to you and will call on the name of Adonai.
116:18  I will pay my vows to Adonai in the presence of all his people,
116:19  in the courtyards of Adonai’s house, there in your very heart, Yerushalayim. Halleluyah!
