116:1 I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications; |
116:2 For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during [all] my days. |
116:3 The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow: |
116:4 Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul. |
116:5 Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful. |
116:6 Jehovah keepeth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me. |
116:7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee. |
116:8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling. |
116:9 I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living. |
116:10 I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted. |
116:11 I said in my haste, All men are liars. |
116:12 What shall I render unto Jehovah, [for] all his benefits toward me? |
116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah. |
116:14 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people. |
116:15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints. |
116:16 Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. |
116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah. |
116:18 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people, |
116:19 In the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah! |
