I love Jehovah, because he heareth
My voice and my supplications.
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,
Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
The cords of death compassed me,
And the pains of Sheol {Or, found me}gat hold upon me:
I found trouble and sorrow.
Then called I upon the name of Jehovah:
O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous;
Yea, our God is merciful.
Jehovah preserveth the simple:
I was brought low, and he saved me.
Return unto thy rest, O my soul;
For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death,
Mine eyes from tears,
And my feet from falling.
I will walk before Jehovah
In the {Hebrew: lands.}land of the living.
I {Or, believed, when I spake thus}believe, for I will speak:
I was greatly afflicted:
I said in my {Or, alarm}haste,
All men are liars.
What shall I render unto Jehovah
For all his benefits toward me?
I will take the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of Jehovah.
I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,
Yea, in the presence of all his people.
Precious in the sight of Jehovah
Is the death of his saints.
O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant:
I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid;
Thou hast loosed my bonds.
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call upon the name of Jehovah.
I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,
Yea, in the presence of all his people,
In the courts of Jehovah's house,
In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
{Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.
Querverweise zu Psalm 116,14 Ps 116,14
I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,Yea, in the presence of all his people,
Of thee cometh my praise in the great assembly:I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
Thy vows are upon me, O God:I will render thank-offerings unto thee.
I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings;I will pay thee my vows,
Which my lips uttered,And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.
I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings,With the incense of rams;I will offer bullocks with goats. [Selah
Then the men feared Jehovah exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice unto Jehovah, and made vows.
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving;I will pay that which I have vowed.Salvation is of Jehovah.
{[Chapter 2:1 in Hebrew]}Behold, upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! Keep thy feasts, O Judah, perform thy vows; for {Or, the man of worthlessness Hebrew: Belial}the wicked one shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, {Leviticus 19:12; Numbers 30:2; Deuteronomy 23:21.}Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
