Psalm 116 - Tree of Life Version

Lift Up the Cup of Salvation

¹ I love Adonai, for He hears my voice, my cries.

² Because He has turned His ear to me, I will call on Him all my days.

³ The ropes of death entangled me, and the torments of Sheol found me. I found trouble and sorrow.

⁴ Then I called upon the Name of Adonai: “Adonai, save my soul!”

⁵ Adonai is gracious and righteous— yes, our God is compassionate.

⁶ Adonai protects the simple-hearted. When I was brought low, He saved me.

⁷ Return to your rest, my soul, for Adonai has been good to you.

⁸ For You delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

⁹ I will walk before Adonai in the lands of the living.

¹⁰ I trusted even when I said, “I am very afflicted”—

¹¹ even when I said in my haste, “All men are liars.”

¹² How can I repay Adonai for all His bounties to me?

¹³ I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call on the Name of Adonai.

¹⁴ I will fulfill my vows to Adonai in the presence of all His people.

¹⁵ Precious in the sight of Adonai is the death of His kedoshim.

¹⁶ O Adonai! Surely I am Your servant. I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant. You have freed me from my bonds.

¹⁷ To You I will offer a sacrifice of praise, and will call on the Name of Adonai.

¹⁸ I will fulfill my vows to Adonai in the presence of all His people,

¹⁹ in the courts of the House of Adonai, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Halleluyah!
