Psalms 116

He Listens to My Voice

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

Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death

I love the Lord, because He has heard
My voice and my supplications.

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

Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

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

The [a]pains of death surrounded me,
And the [b]pangs of Sheol [c]laid hold of me;
I found trouble and sorrow.

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

Then I called upon the name of the Lord:
“O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!”

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

Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;
Yes, our God is merciful.

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

The Lord preserves the simple;
I was brought low, and He saved me.

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

Return to your rest, O my soul,
For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

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

For You have delivered my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from falling.

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

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

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

I believed, therefore I spoke,
“I am greatly afflicted.”

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

I said in my haste,
“All men are liars.”

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

What shall I render to the Lord
For all His benefits toward me?

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

I will take up the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of the Lord.

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

I will pay my vows to the Lord
Now in the presence of all His people.

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

Precious in the sight of the Lord
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.

O Lord, truly I am Your servant;
I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant;
You have loosed my bonds.

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

I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call upon the name of the Lord.

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

I will pay my vows to the Lord
Now in the presence of all His people,

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

In the courts of the Lord’s house,
In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
[d]Praise the Lord!
