Psalms 116

1 I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,

I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voyce and my prayers.

2 Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.

For he hath inclined his eare vnto me, whe I did call vpon him in my dayes.

3 Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find. (Sheol h7585)

When the snares of death copassed me, and the griefes of the graue caught me: when I founde trouble and sorowe. (Sheol h7585)

4 And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,

Then I called vpon the Name of the Lord, saying, I beseech thee, O Lord, deliuer my soule.

5 Gracious [is] Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God [is] merciful,

The Lord is mercifull and righteous, and our God is full of compassion.

6 A preserver of the simple [is] Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.

The Lord preserueth the simple: I was in miserie and he saued me.

7 Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.

Returne vnto thy rest, O my soule: for the Lord hath bene beneficiall vnto thee,

8 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.

Because thou hast deliuered my soule from death, mine eyes from teares, and my feete from falling.

9 I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.

I shall walke before the Lord in the lande of the liuing.

10 I have believed, for I speak, I — I have been afflicted greatly.

I beleeued, therefore did I speake: for I was sore troubled.

11 I said in my haste, 'Every man [is] a liar.'

I said in my feare, All men are lyers.

12 What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon me.

What shall I render vnto the Lord for all his benefites toward me?

13 The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

I will take the cup of saluation, and call vpon the Name of the Lord.

14 My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people.

I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, euen nowe in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the eyes of Jehovah [is] the death for His saints.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saintes.

16 Cause [it] to come, O Jehovah, for I [am] Thy servant. I [am] Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.

Beholde, Lord: for I am thy seruant, I am thy seruant, and the sonne of thine handmaide: thou hast broken my bondes.

17 To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

I will offer to thee a sacrifice of prayse, and will call vpon the Name of the Lord.

18 My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,

I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, euen nowe in the presence of all his people,

19 In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!

In the courtes of ye Lords house, euen in the middes of thee, O Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
