Psalm. 116 -

(Melody: J’aime mon Dieu, 1562 – Genevan.)
Adapted, updated English lyrics by Andries.
I
love the Lord, He listens to my prayer.
He
cares about my humble plea, He listens.
In
darkest night his grace so brightly glistens: -
“Lord
save me now, your love I shall declare.”
Most
kind and virtuous is God, my Lord.
Our
God is merciful indeed, and righteous;
Delighting
always to impart me justice:
to
me in time of need his help affords.
Be
still my soul, to rest in God agree,
the
Lord has richly blessed and healed, befriending.
Delivered
me, from death and grave ascending!
From
loss and sorrow God has set me free.
Since
God released my eyes from tears and haze,
enthused
my heart: to bring him thanks, to love Him!
Redeemed
from life’s distressing fears: adore Him!
with
God I walk, to him my song shall raise!
My Afrikaanse verdigting van Psalm 116. Geneefse melodie
Ja, God is liefde, want Hy hoor my stem.
God hoor my smeking, luister na
gebede.
Omdat Hy luister, wag ek op sy
vrede,
as ek nog daagliks vaster aan Hom
klem.
Ek vrees nie meer die donker
doodsvallei,
geen kommer of benoudheid sal
oorwin nie.
Het God nie uit ontferming oor
begin nie,
Hy skink die beker waar ek lewe
kry.
Ek sal my offers dankbaar vir U
bring,
en hartlik uitroep: God se Naam
bied lewe!
Geloftes aan U hou, Heer hoog
verhewe,
en in u diens u heerlikheid
besing.
O my Verlosser, neem my danklied
aan,
wie U ontvang, kry liefde as ’n
gawe!
U trou, genade is die veil’ge
hawe,
waar u gemeente ewig sal bestaan.
