Psalms 116
|
I have given my love to the Lord, because he has given ear to the voice of my cry and my prayer. | I love Jehovah, because he heareth My voice and my supplications. |
He has let my request come before him, and I will make my prayer to him all my days. | Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call [upon him] as long as I live. |
The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow. | The cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. |
Then I made my prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord, take my soul out of trouble. | Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. |
The Lord is full of grace and righteousness; truly, he is a God of mercy. | Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful. |
The Lord keeps the simple; I was made low, and he was my saviour. | Jehovah preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me. |
Come back to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has given you your reward. | Return unto thy rest, O my soul; For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee. |
You have taken my soul from the power of death, keeping my eyes from weeping, and my feet from falling. | For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, [And] my feet from falling. |
I will go before the Lord in the land of the living. | I will walk before Jehovah In the land of the living. |
I still had faith, though I said, I am in great trouble; | I believe, for I will speak: I was greatly afflicted: |
Though I said in my fear, All men are false. | I said in my haste, All men are liars. |
What may I give to the Lord for all the good things which he has done for me? | What shall I render unto Jehovah For all his benefits toward me? |
I will take the cup of salvation, and give praise to the name of the Lord. | I will take the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of Jehovah. |
I will make the offering of my oath to the Lord, even before all his people. | I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people. |
Dear in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints. | Precious in the sight of Jehovah Is the death of his saints. |
O Lord, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of her who is your servant; by you have my cords been broken. | O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bonds. |
I will give an offering of praise to you, and make my prayer in the name of the Lord. | I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of Jehovah. |
I will make the offerings of my oath, even before all his people; | I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people, |
In the Lord's house, even in Jerusalem. Praise be to the Lord. | In the courts of Jehovah's house, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 117 |
