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.
