Psalm 116 (ASV) - I love Jehovah, because he

Psa 116:1

I love Jehovah, because he heareth

My voice and my supplications.

Psa 116:2

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,

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

Psa 116:3

The cords of death compassed me,

And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me:

I found trouble and sorrow.

Psa 116:4

Then called I upon the name of Jehovah:

O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

Psa 116:5

Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous;

Yea, our God is merciful.

Psa 116:6

Jehovah preserveth the simple:

I was brought low, and he saved me.

Psa 116:7

Return unto thy rest, O my soul;

For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.

Psa 116:8

For thou hast delivered my soul from death,

Mine eyes from tears,

And my feet from falling.

Psa 116:9

I will walk before Jehovah

In the land of the living.

Psa 116:10

I believe, for I will speak:

I was greatly afflicted:

Psa 116:11

I said in my haste,

All men are liars.

Psa 116:12

What shall I render unto Jehovah

For all his benefits toward me?

Psa 116:13

I will take the cup of salvation,

And call upon the name of Jehovah.

Psa 116:14

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.

Psa 116:17

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

And will call upon the name of Jehovah.

Psa 116:18

I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,

Yea, in the presence of all his people,

Psa 116:19

In the courts of Jehovah’s house,

In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

Praise ye Jehovah.
