| Chapter 116 |
1 | I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,
|
2 | Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.
|
3 | Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find.
|
4 | And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,
|
5 | Gracious [is] Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God [is] merciful,
|
6 | A preserver of the simple [is] Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.
|
7 | Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.
|
8 | For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.
|
9 | I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.
|
10 | I have believed, for I speak, I -- I have been afflicted greatly.
|
11 | I said in my haste, 'Every man [is] a liar.'
|
12 | What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon me.
|
13 | The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.
|
14 | My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people.
|
15 | Precious in the eyes of Jehovah [is] the death for His saints.
|
16 | Cause [it] to come, O Jehovah, for I [am] Thy servant. I [am] Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.
|
17 | To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.
|
18 | My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,
|
19 | In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!
