Psalms 116

¹I love Jehovah, because he heareth

²Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,

³The cords of death compassed me,

⁴Then called I upon the name of Jehovah:

⁵Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous;

⁶Jehovah preserveth the simple:

⁷Return unto thy rest, O my soul;

⁸For thou hast delivered my soul from death,

⁹I will walk before Jehovah

¹⁰I believe, for I will speak:

¹¹I said in my haste,

¹²What shall I render unto Jehovah

¹³I will take the cup of salvation,

¹⁴I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,

¹⁵Precious in the sight of Jehovah

¹⁶O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant:

¹⁷I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

¹⁸I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,

¹⁹In the courts of Jehovah’s house,
