#Psalmtweet #Psalter 116:1

 Lessons in translation.

Joined to the praise from the Exodus (Ps 114-115) is this individual love song

Don't make it say what it doesn't say or what you think it ought to say. Listen to what it does say. Psalm 116 is an aria.

אָ֭הַבְתִּי כִּֽי־יִשְׁמַ֥ע ׀ יְהוָ֑ה
אֶת־ק֝וֹלִ֗י תַּחֲנוּנָֽי
1 ♪g I love, for Yahweh heard,
the voice of my supplication.
