Psalm 116

Psalm 116 (American Standard Version)

Psalm 116

 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.
