PSALM 116
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1I love the Lord, because my voice
and prayers he did hear.
2I, while I live, will call on him,
who bow'd to me his ear.
3Of death the cords and sorrows did
about me compass round;
The pains of hell took hold on me,
I grief and trouble found.
4Upon the name of God the Lord
then did I call, and say,
Deliver thou my soul, O Lord,
I do thee humbly pray.
5God merciful and righteous is,
yea, gracious is our Lord.
6God saves the meek: I was brought low,
he did me help afford.
7O thou my soul, do thou return
unto thy quiet rest;
For largely, lo, the Lord to thee
his bounty hath exprest.
8For my distressed soul from death
deliver'd was by thee:
Thou didst my mourning eyes from tears,
my feet from falling, free.
9I in the land of those that live
will walk the Lord before.
10I did believe, therefore I spake:
I was afflicted sore.
11I said, when I was in my haste,
that all men liars be.
12What shall I render to the Lord
for all his gifts to me?
13I'll of salvation take the cup,
on God's name will I call:
14I'll pay my vows now to the Lord
before his people all.
15Dear in God's sight is his saints' death.
16Thy servant, Lord, am I;
Thy servant sure, thine handmaid's son:
my bands thou didst untie.
17Thank-off 'rings I to thee will give,
and on God's name will call.
18I'll pay my vows now to the Lord
before his people all;
19Within the courts of God's own house,
within the midst of thee,
O city of Jerusalem.
Praise to the Lord give ye.

Tehillim (Psalms) 116
116
1I love יהוה, because He has heard my voice, my pleas.
2Because He has inclined His ear to me, And I shall call throughout my days.
3The cords of death were around me, And the pains of She’ol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow.
4Then I called upon the Name of יהוה, “O יהוה, I pray to You, deliver my being!”
5יהוה shows favour and is righteous; And our Elohim is compassionate.
6יהוה guards the simple; I was brought low, but He saved me.
7Return to your rest, O my being, For יהוה has treated you well.
8For You have delivered my being from death, My eyes from tears, My feet from falling.
9I shall walk before יהוה in the land of the living.
10I have believed, for I speak; I have been greatly afflicted.
11I said in my haste, “All men are liars.”
12What shall I return to יהוה? All His bounties are upon me.
13I lift up the cup of deliverance, And call upon the Name of יהוה.
14I pay my vows to יהוה Now in the presence of all His people.
15Precious in the eyes of יהוה Is the death of His lovingly-committed ones.
16O יהוה, I am truly Your servant, I am Your servant, the son of Your female servant; You have loosed my bonds.
17I slaughter You a slaughtering of thanksgiving, And call upon the Name of יהוה.
18I pay my vows to יהוה In the presence of all His people,
19In the courts of the House of יהוה, In your midst, O Yerushalayim. Praise Yah!
