Chapter 116

 I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication, 

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

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

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

 Gracious [is] Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God [is] merciful, 

 A preserver of the simple [is] Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation. 

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

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

 I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living. 

 I have believed, for I speak, I -- I have been afflicted greatly. 

 I said in my haste, 'Every man [is] a liar.' 

 What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon me. 

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

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

 Precious in the eyes of Jehovah [is] the death for His saints. 

 Cause [it] to come, O Jehovah, for I [am] Thy servant. I [am] Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds. 

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

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

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