116:1 I love the LORD, because He hears My voice {and} my supplications. |
116:2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I shall call {upon Him} as long as I live. |
116:3 The cords of death encompassed me And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow. |
116:4 Then I called upon the name of the LORD: "O LORD, I beseech You, save my life!" |
116:5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yes, our God is compassionate. |
116:6 The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. |
116:7 Return to your rest, O my soul, For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. |
116:8 For You have rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, My feet from stumbling. |
116:9 I shall walk before the LORD In the land of the living. |
116:10 I believed when I said, "I am greatly afflicted." |
116:11 I said in my alarm, "All men are liars." |
116:12 What shall I render to the LORD For all His benefits toward me? |
116:13 I shall lift up the cup of salvation And call upon the name of the LORD. |
116:14 I shall pay my vows to the LORD, Oh {may it be} in the presence of all His people. |
116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His godly ones. |
116:16 O LORD, surely I am Your servant, I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid, You have loosed my bonds. |
116:17 To You I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving, And call upon the name of the LORD. |
116:18 I shall pay my vows to the LORD, Oh {may it be} in the presence of all His people, |
116:19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, In the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD! |
