Psalms 116:5-19 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

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 me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

9. I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living.

10. I believed when I spoke, “I am afflicted greatly.”

11. I said in my haste, “Everyone 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 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 house of Yahweh, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
