JPS - Psalms - 116

116:1  I love that HaShem should hear my voice and my supplications.

116:2  Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him all my days.

116:3  The cords of death compassed me, and the straits of the nether-world got hold upon me; I found trouble and sorrow.

116:4  But I called upon the name of HaShem: 'I beseech thee, O HaShem, deliver my soul.'

116:5  Gracious is HaShem, and righteous; yea, our G-d is compassionate.

116:6  HaShem preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.

116:7  Return, O my soul, unto Thy rest; for HaShem hath dealt bountifully with thee.

116:8  For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.

116:9  I shall walk before HaShem in the lands of the living.

116:10  I trusted even when I spoke: 'I am greatly afflicted.'

116:11  I said in my haste: 'All men are liars.'

116:12  How can I repay unto HaShem all His bountiful dealings toward me?

116:13  I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of HaShem.

116:14  My vows will I pay unto HaShem, yea, in the presence of all His people.

116:15  Precious in the sight of HaShem is the death of His saints.

116:16  I beseech Thee, O HaShem, for I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bands.

116:17  I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of HaShem.

116:18  I will pay my vows unto HaShem, yea, in the presence of all His people;

116:19  In the courts of HaShem'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
