Chapter 116

I love YHVH, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

Then called I upon the name of YHVH; O YHVH, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

Gracious is YHVH, and righteous; yea, our ELOHIYM is merciful.

YHVH preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

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

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

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

I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

What shall I render unto YHVH for all his benefits toward me?

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

I will pay my vows unto YHVH now in the presence of all his people.

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

O YHVH, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

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

I will pay my vows unto YHVH now in the presence of all his people.

In the courts of YHVH's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye YAH.
