Psalm 116
1 I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. | |
2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. | |
3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. | |
4 Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. | |
5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. | |
6 The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. | |
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee. | |
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. | |
9 I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. | |
10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: | |
11 I said in my haste, All men are liars. | |
12 What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me? | |
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. | |
14 I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people. | |
15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. | |
16 O Lord, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. | |
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord. | |
18 I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people. | |
19 In the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord. |
