Psalms 116

Verse 1. 1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Verse 2. 2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. Verse 3. 3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Verse 4. 4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. Verse 5. 5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. Verse 6. 6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

Verse 7. 7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. Verse 8. 8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. Verse 9. 9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. Verse 10. 10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: Verse 11. 11 I said in my haste, All men are liars. Verse 12. 12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?

Verse 13. 13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. Verse 14. 14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. Verse 15. 15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Verse 16. 16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. Verse 17. 17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. Verse 18. 18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,

Verse 19. 19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
