Psalms 116

  1. 1 I love Jehovah, because he heareth My voice and my supplications.

  2. 2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call [upon him] as long as I live.

  3. 3 The cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

  4. 4 Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

  5. 5 Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful.

  6. 6 Jehovah preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.

  7. 7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.

  8. 8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, [And] my feet from falling.

  9. 9 I will walk before Jehovah In the land of the living.

  10. 10 I believe, for I will speak: I was greatly afflicted:

  11. 11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.

  12. 12 What shall I render unto Jehovah For all his benefits toward me?

  13. 13 I will take the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of Jehovah.

  14. 14 I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people.

  15. 15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah Is the death of his saints.

  16. 16 O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bonds.

  17. 17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of Jehovah.

  18. 18 I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people,

  19. 19 In the courts of Jehovah’s house, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.
