PSALMS 116
1
I love Yahweh, because he hears me when I cry for him to help me.
2
He listens to me, so I will call out to him all during my life.
3
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.
4
But then I called out to Yahweh, saying, “Yahweh, I plead with you to save/rescue me!”
5
Yahweh is kind and does what is right; he is our God, and he acts mercifully to us.
6
He protects those who ◄are helpless/cannot defend themselves►; and when I thought that I would die, he saved me.
7
I must encourage/tell myself to ◄have inner peace/not worry any more►, because Yahweh has done very good things for me.
8
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.
9
So here on the earth, where people are still alive, I live knowing that Yahweh is directing me.
10
I continued to believe/trust in Yahweh, even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted/troubled.”
11
Even when I was distressed/worried and said, “I cannot trust anyone,” I continued to trust in Yahweh.
12
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.
13
I will offer to him a cup of wine to thank him for saving/rescuing me.
14
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.
15
Yahweh is very grieved/sad when one of his people dies.
16
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).
17
So I will offer to him a sacrifice to thank him, and I will pray to him.
18
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!
