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!
