Psalms 116
116
1I love Jehovah, because he heareth
My voice and my supplications.
2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,
Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3The cords of death compassed me,
And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me:
I found trouble and sorrow.
4Then called I upon the name of Jehovah:
O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous;
Yea, our God is merciful.
6Jehovah preserveth the simple:
I was brought low, and he saved me.
7Return unto thy rest, O my soul;
For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8For thou hast delivered my soul from death,
Mine eyes from tears,
And my feet from falling.
9I will walk before Jehovah
In the land of the living.
10I believe, for I will speak:
I was greatly afflicted:
11I said in my haste,
All men are liars.
12What shall I render unto Jehovah
For all his benefits toward me?
13I will take the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of Jehovah.
14I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,
Yea, in the presence of all his people.
15Precious in the sight of Jehovah
Is the death of his saints.
16O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant:
I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid;
Thou hast loosed my bonds.
17I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call upon the name of Jehovah.
18I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,
Yea, in the presence of all his people,
19In the courts of Jehovah’s house,
In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
Praise ye Jehovah.

116
Psalm 116
1I love the Lord because he hears my voice, my pleas for mercy.
2I will call on him as long as I live
because he turns his ear toward me.
3The ropes of death became tangled around me.
The horrors of the grave took hold of me.
I experienced pain and agony.
4But I kept calling on the name of the Lord:
“Please, Lord, rescue me!”
5The Lord is merciful and righteous.
Our God is compassionate.
6The Lord protects defenseless people.
When I was weak, he saved me.
7Be at peace again, my soul,
because the Lord has been good to you.
8You saved me from death.
You saved my eyes from tears ⌞and⌟ my feet from stumbling.
9I will walk in the Lord’s presence in this world of the living.
10I kept my faith even when I said,
“I am suffering terribly.”
11I also said when I was panic-stricken,
“Everyone is undependable.”
12How can I repay the Lord
for all the good that he has done for me?
13I will take the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the Lord.
14I will keep my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people.
15Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his faithful ones.
16O Lord, I am indeed your servant.
I am your servant,
the son of your female servant.
You have freed me from my chains.
17I will bring a song of thanksgiving to you as a sacrifice.
I will call on the name of the Lord.
18I will keep my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people,
19in the courtyards of the Lord’s house,
in the middle of Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!
