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