Psalms 116

Thanksgiving for deliverance from death.

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,

The cords of death compassed me,

Then called I upon the name of Jehovah:

Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous;

Jehovah preserveth the simple:

Return unto thy rest, O my soul;

For thou hast delivered my soul from death,

I will walk before Jehovah

I believe, for I will speak:

I said in my haste,

What shall I render unto Jehovah

I will take the cup of salvation,

I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,

Precious in the sight of Jehovah

O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant:

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,

In the courts of Jehovah’s house,
