1 | (Psalm 116)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. |
