116:1 I love Jehovah, because he heareth My voice and my supplications.

116:2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call [upon him] as long as I live.

116:3 The cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

116:4 Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

116:5 Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful.

116:6 Jehovah preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.

116:7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.

116:8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, [And] my feet from falling.

116:9 I will walk before Jehovah In the land of the living.

116:10 I believe, for I will speak: I was greatly afflicted:

116:11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.

116:12 What shall I render unto Jehovah For all his benefits toward me?

116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of Jehovah.

116:14 I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people.

116:15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah Is the death of his saints.

116:16 O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bonds.

116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of Jehovah.

116:18 I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people,
