The Psalms

Psalm 116

 ^116:1I love Jehovah, because he heareth

 My voice and my supplications.

 ^116:2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,

 Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

 ^116:3The cords of death compassed me,

 And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me:

 I found trouble and sorrow.

 ^116:4Then called I upon the name of Jehovah:

 O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

 ^116:5Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous;

 Yea, our God is merciful.

 ^116:6Jehovah preserveth the simple:

 I was brought low, and he saved me.

 ^116:7Return unto thy rest, O my soul;

 For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.

 ^116:8For thou hast delivered my soul from death,

 Mine eyes from tears,

 And my feet from falling.

 ^116:9I will walk before Jehovah

 In the land of the living.

 ^116:10I believe, for I will speak:

 I was greatly afflicted:

 ^116:11I said in my haste,

 All men are liars.

 ^116:12What shall I render unto Jehovah

 For all his benefits toward me?

 ^116:13I will take the cup of salvation,

 And call upon the name of Jehovah.

 ^116:14I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,

 Yea, in the presence of all his people.

 ^116:15Precious in the sight of Jehovah

 Is the death of his saints.

 ^116:16O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant:

 I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid;

 Thou hast loosed my bonds.

 ^116:17I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

 And will call upon the name of Jehovah.

 ^116:18I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,

 Yea, in the presence of all his people,

 ^116:19In the courts of Jehovah's house,

 In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

 Praise ye Jehovah.
