Psalm 116

¹ I love Jehovah, because he heareth My voice and my supplications.

² Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

³ The cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

⁴ Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

⁵ Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful.

⁶ Jehovah preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.

⁷ Return unto thy rest, O my soul; For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.

⁸ For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.

⁹ I will walk before Jehovah In the land of the living.

¹⁰ I believe, for I will speak: I was greatly afflicted:

¹¹ I said in my haste, All men are liars.

¹² What shall I render unto Jehovah For all his benefits toward me?

¹³ I will take the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of Jehovah.

¹⁴ I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people.

¹⁵ Precious in the sight of Jehovah Is the death of his saints.

¹⁶ O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bonds.

¹⁷ I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of Jehovah.

¹⁸ I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people,

¹⁹ In the courts of Jehovah’s house, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.
