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 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. |
