Psa PsalmsPsaltaren, psalm Book of PsalmsPsaltaren, psalm 116

I love Jehovah, because he heareth

My voice and my supplications.

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,

Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

The cords of death compassed me,

And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me:

I found trouble and sorrow.

Then called I upon the name of Jehovah:

O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous;

Yea, our God is merciful.

Jehovah preserveth the simple:

I was brought low, and he saved me.

Return unto thy rest, O my soul;

For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death,

Mine eyes from tears,

And my feet from falling.

I will walk before Jehovah

In the land of the living.

I believe, for I will speak:

I was greatly afflicted:

I said in my haste,

All men are liars.

What shall I render unto Jehovah

For all his benefits toward me?

I will take the cup of salvation,

And call upon the name of Jehovah.

I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,

Yea, in the presence of all his people.

Precious in the sight of Jehovah

Is the death of his saints.

O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant:

I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid;

Thou hast loosed my bonds.

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

And will call upon the name of Jehovah.

I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,

Yea, in the presence of all his people,

In the courts of Jehovah’s house,

In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

Praise ye Jehovah.
