Psalms, Chapter 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.
