Psalm 116
Smith's Literal Translation Par ▾ 

The LORD Has Heard My Voice

1I Loved, for Jehovah will hear the voice of my supplication.

2For he inclined his ear to me, and in my days I will call.

3The pains of death surrounded me, and the distresses of hades found me: shall find straits and affliction.

4And upon the name of Jehovah will I call; now, O Jehovah, deliver my soul.

5Jehovah is merciful and just, and our God compassionates.

6Jehovah watching the simple: I was brought low, and he will save for me.

7Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest; for Jehovah benefited to thee.

8For thou deliveredst my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from a fall.

9I will go about before Jehovah in the lands of the living.

10I believed, for I will speak: I was greatly humbled.

11I said in my alarm, Every man a lie.

12What shall I turn back to Jehovah for all his benefits to me?

13I will lift up the cup of salvation, and upon the name of Jehovah will I call.

14I will repay my vows to Jehovah before now to all his people.

15Precious in the eyes of Jehovah the death to his godly ones.

16Now, O Jehovah, for I am thy servant; I thy servant, the son of thy maid-servant: thou didst loose to my bonds.

17To thee will I sacrifice a sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of Jehovah.

18My vows to Jehovah I will repay before now to all his people,

19In the enclosures to the house of Jehovah, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jah.
