Psalms 116

Thanksgiving for deliverance from death.

¹I love Jehovah, because he heareth My voice and my supplications.

²Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call [upon him] as long as I live.

³The cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

⁴Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

⁵Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful.

⁶Jehovah preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.

⁷Return unto thy rest, O my soul; For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.

⁸For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, [And] my feet from falling.

⁹I will walk before Jehovah In the land of the living.

¹⁰I believe, for I will speak: I was greatly afflicted:

¹¹I said in my haste, All men are liars.

¹²What shall I render unto Jehovah For all his benefits toward me?

¹³I will take the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of Jehovah.

¹⁴I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people.

¹⁵Precious in the sight of Jehovah Is the death of his saints.

¹⁶O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bonds.

¹⁷I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of Jehovah.

¹⁸I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people,

¹⁹In the courts of Jehovah`s house, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.
