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