Psalms 116:1-9

1I loveH157 YhwhH3068, because he hath heardH8085 my voiceH6963 and my supplicationsH8469.

2Because he hath inclinedH5186 his earH241 unto me, therefore will I callH7121 upon him as long as I liveH3117.1

3The sorrowsH2256 of deathH4194 compassedH661 me, and the painsH4712 of hellH7585 gat holdH4672 upon me: I foundH4672 troubleH6869 and sorrowH3015.2

4Then calledH7121 I upon the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068; O YhwhH3068, I beseechH577 thee, deliverH4422 my soulH5315.

5GraciousH2587 is YhwhH3068, and righteousH6662; yea, our GodH430 is mercifulH7355.

6YhwhH3068 preservethH8104 the simpleH6612: I was brought lowH1809, and he helpedH3467 me.

7ReturnH7725 unto thy restH4494, O my soulH5315; for YhwhH3068 hath dealt bountifullyH1580 with thee.

8For thou hast deliveredH2502 my soulH5315 from deathH4194, mine eyesH5869 from tearsH1832, and my feetH7272 from fallingH1762.

9I will walkH1980 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 in the landH776 of the livingH2416.
