Chapter Text
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 <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God <FI>is<Fi> merciful,
116:6 A preserver of the simple <FI>is<Fi> 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 <FI>is<Fi> a liar.'
116:12 What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits <FI>are<Fi> 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 <FI>is<Fi> the death for His saints.
116:16 Cause <FI>it<Fi> to come, O Jehovah, for I <FI>am<Fi> Thy servant. I <FI>am<Fi> 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!
