Psalms 116

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.	1 Al eluia! I am fil ed with love when Yahweh listens to the sound of my prayer,
2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.	2 when he bends down to hear me, as I cal .
3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.	3 The bonds of death were al round me, the snares of Sheol held me fast; distress and anguish heldme in their grip,
4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.	4 I cal ed on the name of Yahweh. Deliver me, Yahweh, I beg you.
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.	5 Yahweh is merciful and upright, our God is tenderness.
6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.	6 Yahweh looks after the simple, when I was brought low he gave me strength.
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.	7 My heart, be at peace once again, for Yahweh has treated you generously.
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.	8 He has rescued me from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.	9 I shal pass my life in the presence of Yahweh, in the land of the living.
10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:	10 My trust does not fail even when I say, 'I am completely wretched.'
11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.	11 In my terror I said, 'No human being can be relied on.'
12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?	12 What return can I make to Yahweh for his generosity to me?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.	13 I shal take up the cup of salvation and cal on the name of Yahweh.
14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.	14 I shal fulfil my vows to Yahweh, witnessed by al his people.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.	15 Costly in Yahweh's sight is the death of his faithful.
16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.	16 I beg you, Yahweh! I am your servant, I am your servant and my mother was your servant; you haveundone my fetters.
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.	17 I shal offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and cal on the name of Yahweh.
18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,	18 I shal fulfil my vows to Yahweh, witnessed by al his people,
19 In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.	19 in the courts of the house of Yahweh, in your very heart, Jerusalem.
