Psalms 116:1-9 ▼

1 I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications;

2 For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during [all] my days.

3 The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow:

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

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

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

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

8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

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