Psalms, Chapter 116

  
1. I love the LORD because He hears my voice and my prayers.
  
2. Because He has bowed down His ear to me, therefore I will call on Him in my days.
  
3. The sorrows of death hemmed me in, and the pains of hell took hold on me; I found trouble and sorrow.
  
4. Then I called on the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech You, deliver my soul.
  
5. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
  
6. The LORD keeps the simple; I was brought low, and He helped me.
  
7. Return to your rest, O my soul; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
  
8. For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
  
9. I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
  
10. I believed, therefore I have spoken; I was greatly afflicted;
  
11. I said in my haste, All men are liars.
  
12. What shall I give to the LORD for all His benefits toward me?
  
13. I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the LORD.
  
14. I will pay my vows to 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 Your servant; I am Your servant, and the son of Your handmaid; You have loosed my bonds.
  
17. I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the name of the LORD.
  
18. I will pay my vows to the LORD now in the presence of all His people,
  
19. in the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
