Psalms 116: (ASV)
|
1) I love Jehovah, because he heareth My voice and my supplications.
|
2) Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
|
3) The cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
|
4) Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
|
5) Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful.
|
6) Jehovah preserveth 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, And my feet from falling.
|
9) I will walk before Jehovah In the land of the living.
|
10) I believe, for I will speak: 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 pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people.
|
15) Precious in the sight of Jehovah Is the death of his saints.
|
16) O Jehovah, truly 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 pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people,
|
19) In the courts of Jehovah's house, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.
