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.
