KJ3 Literal Translation
Psalms 116
The psalmist praises Jehovah for His deliverance.
1I love Jehovah because He hears my voice, my supplications.
2Because He has stretched out His ear to me, even I will also call in my days.
3The cords of death encompassed me; and the straits of Sheol found me; I found distress and sorrow;
4and I call on the name of Jah: O Jehovah, I pray, deliver my soul!
5Jehovah is gracious and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6Jehovah watches over ones of simplicity; I was low, but He saved me.
7Return to your rest, O soul; for Jehovah has rewarded you.
8For You have delivered my soul from death, my eye from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9I will walk before the face of Jehovah in the land of the living.
10I believed; so I speak; I was greatly afflicted;
11I said in my alarm, All men are liars.
12What shall I return to Jehovah for all His benefits to me?
13I will lift up the cup of salvation, and I will call on the name of Jehovah.
14I will pay my vows to Jehovah; I pray in the presence of all His people.
15Precious in the eyes of Jehovah is the death of His godly ones.
16O Jehovah, truly I am Your servant now; I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid; You have loosed my bonds.
17I will sacrifice to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving and will call on the name of Jehovah.
18I will pay my vows to Jehovah now in the presence of all His people,
19in the courts of the house of Jehovah; in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise Jah!
