Thanksgiving for God’s Deliverance
116 I love him, because Yahweh has heard
⌊the voice of my supplications⌋.a
2 Because he has inclined his ear to me,
I will call ⌊all my days⌋.b
3 The ropes of death encircled me,
and the distresses of Sheol found me.
I found trouble and grief.
4 Then I called on the name of Yahweh:
“O Yahweh, please save my life!”
5 Gracious is Yahweh and righteous,
and our God is merciful.
6 Yahweh watches over the simple.
I was brought low, but he gave me victory.
7 Return, O my soul, to your repose,
for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.
8 For you have rescued mec from death,
my eyesd from tears, my feet from stumbling.
in the lande of the living.
“I am afflicted greatly.”
“⌊Everyone⌋f is a liar.”
12 What shall I give back to Yahweh
for all his benefits to me?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation
and proclaim the name of Yahweh.
14 I will pay my vows made to Yahweh
in the presence of all his people.
15 Costly ⌊in Yahweh’s view⌋g is
the death of his faithful ones.
16 Ah, Yahweh, I am indeed your servant;
I am your servant, the child of your maidservant.
You have loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer to you a sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and proclaim the name of Yahweh.
18 I will pay my vows made to Yahweh
in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courts of the househ of Yahweh,
in the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
Praise Yah!i
