116:1 I love the Lord, because He hears My voice and my supplications. 116:2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live. 116:3 The cords of death encompassed me And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow. 116:4 Then I called upon the name of the Lord: "O Lord, I beseech You, save my life!" 116:5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; Yes, our God is compassionate. 116:6 The Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. 116:7 Return to your rest, O my soul, For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. 116:8 For You have rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, My feet from stumbling. 116:9 I shall walk before the Lord In the land of the living. 116:10 I believed when I said, "I am greatly afflicted." 116:11 I said in my alarm, "All men are liars." 116:12 What shall I render to the Lord For all His benefits toward me? 116:13 I shall lift up the cup of salvation And call upon the name of the Lord. 116:14 I shall pay my vows to the Lord, Oh may it be in the presence of all His people. 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of His godly ones. 116:16 O Lord, surely I am Your servant, I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid, You have loosed my bonds. 116:17 To You I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving, And call upon the name of the Lord. 116:18 I shall pay my vows to the Lord, Oh may it be in the presence of all His people, 116:19 In the courts of the Lord's house, In the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
