Psalm 116:10–117:2

¹⁰I believed when I spoke,

“I am afflicted greatly.”

¹¹I said in my haste,

“Everyone^f is a liar.”

¹²What shall I give back to Yahweh

for all his benefits to me?

¹³I will lift up the cup of salvation

and proclaim the name of Yahweh.

¹⁴I will pay my vows made to Yahweh

in the presence of all his people.

¹⁵Costly in Yahweh’s view^g is

the death of his faithful ones.

¹⁶Ah, Yahweh, I am indeed your servant;

I am your servant, the child of your maidservant.

You have loosed my bonds.

¹⁷I will offer to you a sacrifice of thanksgiving,

and proclaim the name of Yahweh.

¹⁸I will pay my vows made to Yahweh

in the presence of all his people,

¹⁹in the courts of the house^h of Yahweh,

in the midst of you, O Jerusalem.

Praise Yah!ⁱ

Let All Peoples Praise Yahweh

117Praise Yahweh, all you nations;

extol him, all you peoples.

²For his loyal love is mighty on our behalf,

and the faithfulness of Yahweh is forever.

Praise Yah!^a
