Psalms 116:1-9 ▼

1 I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,

2 Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.

3 Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find.

4 And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,

5 Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God is merciful,

6 A preserver of the simple is Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.

7 Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.

8 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.

9 I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.
