Psalm 116:1-9

Young's Literal Translation

116 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.
