The Book of Psalms

Psalm 115
|
1
I trusted, even when most I bewailed my unhappy lot;
2
bewildered, I said, Man’s faith is false;
3
but the Lord’s mercies have never failed me; what return shall I make to him?✻
4
I will take the cup that is pledge of my deliverance, and invoke the name of the Lord upon it;
5
I will pay the Lord my vows in the presence of all his people.
6
Dear in the Lord’s sight is the death of those who love him;
7
and am not I, Lord, thy servant, born of thy own handmaid? Thou hast broken the chains that bound me;
8
I will sacrifice in thy honour, and call on the name of the Lord.
9
Before a throng of worshippers I will pay the Lord my vows,
10
here in the courts of the Lord’s house, here, Jerusalem, in thy heart.
