| 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
