| Chapter 116 |
1 |
I love Jehovah, because he heareth My voice and my supplications. --
|
2 |
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call [upon him] as long as I live. --
|
3 |
The cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. --
|
4 |
Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. --
|
5 |
Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful. --
|
6 |
Jehovah preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me. --
|
7 |
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee. --
|
8 |
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, [And] my feet from falling. --
|
9 |
I will walk before Jehovah In the land of the living. --
|
10 |
I believe, for I will speak: I was greatly afflicted: --
|
11 |
I said in my haste, All men are liars. --
|
12 |
What shall I render unto Jehovah For all his benefits toward me? --
|
13 |
I will take the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of Jehovah. --
|
14 |
I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people. --
|
15 |
Precious in the sight of Jehovah Is the death of his saints. --
|
16 |
O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bonds. --
|
17 |
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of Jehovah. --
|
18 |
I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people, --
|
19 |
In the courts of Jehovah's house, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 117 --
