116:1  I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,

116:2  Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.

116:3  Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find.

116:4  And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,

116:5  Gracious `is' Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God `is' merciful,

116:6  A preserver of the simple `is' Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.

116:7  Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.

116:8  For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.

116:9  I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.

116:10  I have believed, for I speak, I -- I have been afflicted greatly.

116:11  I said in my haste, `Every man `is' a liar.'

116:12  What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits `are' upon me.

116:13  The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

116:14  My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people.

116:15  Precious in the eyes of Jehovah `is' the death for His saints.

116:16  Cause `it' to come, O Jehovah, for I `am' Thy servant. I `am' Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.

116:17  To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

116:18  My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,

116:19  In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!
