1902 Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (EBR)

1 The psalmist professeth his love and duty to God for his deliverance. 12 He studieth to be thankful.

116:1 ¶ I love Yahweh—because he heareth my voice, my supplications;

116:2 Because he hath bowed down his ear unto me, therefore, throughout my days, will I call.

116:3 The meshes of death encompassed me, and the distresses of hades, came upon me, Peril and sorrow, I found;

116:4 But, on the Name of Yahweh, I called—I beseech thee, Yahweh, deliver my soul.

116:5 Gracious is Yahweh and righteous, and, our God, is full of compassion.

116:6 Yahweh, preserveth the simple, I was brought low, when, to me, he granted salvation.

116:7 Return, O my soul, to thy rest, For, Yahweh, hath dealt bountifully with thee.

116:8 For thou hast rescued my soul from death,—mine eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

116:9 I will walk to and fro before Yahweh, in the lands of life.

116:10 ¶ I believed that I should speak, I, was greatly depressed.

116:11 I, said in mine alarm, All men, are false!

116:12 How shall I give back to Yahweh, All his benefits unto me?

116:13 The cup of salvation, will I lift, and, on the Name of Yahweh, will I call:

116:14 My vows—to Yahweh, will I pay, Might it be in presence of all his people!

116:15 Costly in the eyes of Yahweh, is, death, for his men of lovingkindness.

116:16 I beseech thee, O Yahweh—for, I, am thy servant,—I, am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid, Thou hast loosened my bonds.

116:17 To thee, will I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and, on the Name of Yahweh, will I call:

116:18 My vows—to Yahweh, will I pay, Might it be in the presence of all his people;—

116:19 In the courts of the house of Yahweh, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Yah!
