Psalms 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. (Psalms 116:1-19, ASV)

1. I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy. 2. Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live. 3.

Yahweh is Gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful. 6. Yahweh preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me. 7. Return to your rest, my soul, for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you. 8. For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. 9. I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living. 10. I believed, therefore I said, “I was greatly afflicted.” 11. I said in my haste, “All men are liars.” 12. What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me? 13. I will take the cup of salvation, and call on Yahweh’s name. 14. I will pay my vows to Yahweh, yes, in the presence of all his people. 15. Precious in Yahweh’s sight is the death of his saints. 16. Yahweh, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your servant. You have freed me from my chains. 17. I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on Yahweh’s name. 18. I will pay my vows to Yahweh, yes, in the presence of all his people, 19. in the courts of Yahweh’s house, in the middle of you, Jerusalem. Praise Yah! (Psalms 116:1-19, WEB)
