Psalms 116

luther1545 kjv valera ls1910

¹I love Jehovah, because he heareth My voice and my supplications. ²Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I callupon himas 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, Andmy 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.
