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.
