Psalms 116 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

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.

10. I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted.

11. I said in my haste, All men are liars.

12. What shall I render unto Jehovah, for all his benefits toward me?

13. I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah.

14. I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people.

15. Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.

16. Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

17. I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.

18. I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people,

19. In the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
