Psalms 116

I Love the Lord

I love the Lord, because he has heard
my voice and my pleas for mercy.

He Listens to My Voice

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

Because he inclined his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

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

The snares of death encompassed me;
the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
I suffered distress and anguish.

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

Then I called on the name of the Lord:
“O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!”

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

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

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

The Lord preserves the simple;
when I was brought low, he saved me.

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

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

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

For you have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling;

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

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

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

I believed, even whena I spoke:
“I am greatly afflicted”;

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

I said in my alarm,
“All mankind are liars.”

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

What shall I render to the Lord
for all his benefits to me?

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

I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the Lord,

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving
and call on the name of the Lord.

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

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

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

in the courts of the house of the Lord,
in your midst, O Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord!

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