116 I love Jehovah
Because he hears* my voice, my pleas for help.
3 The ropes of death encircled me;
The Grave had me in its grip.*
I was overcome by distress and grief.
4 But I called on the name of Jehovah:
“O Jehovah, rescue me!”*
5 Jehovah is compassionate* and righteous;
Our God is merciful.
6 Jehovah is guarding the inexperienced.
I was brought low, and he saved me.
7 Let my soul* rest once again,
For Jehovah has dealt kindly with me.
8 You have rescued me* from death,
My eye from tears, my foot from stumbling.
9 I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.
10 I had faith, for I spoke;
I was greatly afflicted.
11 As for me, I panicked and said:
“Every man is a liar.”
12 With what will I repay Jehovah
For all the good he has done for me?
13 I will take up the cup of salvation,*
And I will call on the name of Jehovah.
14 I will pay my vows to Jehovah
In the presence of all his people.
15 Costly* in the eyes of Jehovah
Is the death of his loyal ones.
16 I beg you, O Jehovah,
For I am your servant.
I am your servant, the son of your slave girl.
You have freed me from my bonds.
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving;
I will call on the name of Jehovah.
18 I will pay my vows to Jehovah
In the presence of all his people,
19 In the courtyards of the house of Jehovah,
In your midst, O Jerusalem.
Praise Jah!*
