Chapter 116

  I love Jehovah, because he heareth 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 cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.  

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

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

  Jehovah preserveth 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, [And] my feet from falling.  

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

  I believe, for I will speak: 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 pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people.  

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

  O Jehovah, truly 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 pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people,  

  In the courts of Jehovah's house, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 117
