| Chapter 116 |
1 |
I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication, -
|
2 |
Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call. -
|
3 |
Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find. -
|
4 |
And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul, -
|
5 |
Gracious [is] Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God [is] merciful, -
|
6 |
A preserver of the simple [is] Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation. -
|
7 |
Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee. -
|
8 |
For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing. -
|
9 |
I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living. -
|
10 |
I have believed, for I speak, I -- I have been afflicted greatly. -
|
11 |
I said in my haste, 'Every man [is] a liar.' -
|
12 |
What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon me. -
|
13 |
The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call. -
|
14 |
My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people. -
|
15 |
Precious in the eyes of Jehovah [is] the death for His saints. -
|
16 |
Cause [it] to come, O Jehovah, for I [am] Thy servant. I [am] Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds. -
|
17 |
To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call. -
|
18 |
My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people, -
|
19 |
In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah! -
