| 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!
