Chapter 116

  I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications;  

--

  For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during [all] my days.  

--

  The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow:  

--

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

--

  Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful.  

--

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

--

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

--

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

--

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

--

  I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted.  

--

  I said in my haste, All men are liars.  

--

  What shall I render unto Jehovah, [for] all his benefits toward me?  

--

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

--

  I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people.  

--

  Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.  

--

  Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.  

--

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

--

  I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people,  

--

  In the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
