Psalm 116
1
I a LOVE the LORD, because He has heard
My voice and my supplications.
2
Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.
3
b The pains of death surrounded me,
And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me;
I found trouble and sorrow.
4
Then I called upon the name of the LORD:
"O LORD, I implore You, deliver my soul!"
5
c Gracious is the LORD, and d righteous;
Yes, our God is merciful.
6
The LORD preserves the simple;
I was brought low, and He saved me.
7
Return to your e rest, O my soul,
For f the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
8
g For You have delivered my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from falling.
9
I will walk before the LORD
h In the land of the living.
10
i I believed, therefore I spoke,
"I am greatly afflicted."
11
j I said in my haste,
k "All men are liars."
12
What shall I render to the LORD
For all His benefits toward me?
13
I will take up the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of the LORD.
14
l I will pay my vows to the LORD
Now in the presence of all His people.
15
m Precious in the sight of the LORD
Is the death of His saints.
16
O LORD, truly n I am Your servant;
I am Your servant, o the son of Your maidservant;
You have loosed my bonds.
17
I will offer to You p the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call upon 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 q courts of the LORD's house,
In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD!
