| Chapter 116 |
1 |
I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice and my supplications; |
2 |
For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during all my days. |
3 |
The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow: |
4 |
Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul. |
5 |
Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful. |
6 |
Jehovah keepeth 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, my feet from falling. |
9 |
I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living. |
10 |
I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, 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 perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people. |
15 |
Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints. |
16 |
Yea, Jehovah! for 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 perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people, |
19 |
In the courts of Jehovah`s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah! |
