116 I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,

Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.

Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find.

And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,

Gracious [is] Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God [is] merciful,

A preserver of the simple [is] Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.

Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.

For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.

I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.

10 I have believed, for I speak, I -- I have been afflicted greatly.

11 I said in my haste, `Every man [is] a liar.'

12 What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon me.

13 The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

14 My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people.

15 Precious in the eyes of Jehovah [is] the death for His saints.

16 Cause [it] to come, O Jehovah, for I [am] Thy servant. I [am] Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.

17 To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

18 My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,

19 In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!

116 I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

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

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.

10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

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

12 What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.

14 I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

16 O Lord, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord.

18 I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.

19 In the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
