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 encompassed me, and the pains of hell got hold upon me; I found trouble and sorrow.

4. Then I called 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!
