Psalm 115:18–116:9

¹⁸But we will bless Jehovah

From this time forth and for evermore.

Praise ye Jehovah.

Psalm 116

¹I love Jehovah, because he heareth

My voice and my supplications.

²Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,

Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

³The cords of death compassed me,

And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me:

I found trouble and sorrow.

⁴Then called I upon the name of Jehovah:

O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

⁵Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous;

Yea, our God is merciful.

⁶Jehovah preserveth the simple:

I was brought low, and he saved me.

⁷Return unto thy rest, O my soul;

For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.

⁸For thou hast delivered my soul from death,

Mine eyes from tears,

And my feet from falling.

⁹I will walk before Jehovah

In the land of the living.
