Psalms Chapter 116

1 I love{H157}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}, because he hath heard{H8085}{(H8799)} my voice{H6963} and my supplications{H8469}. 2 Because he hath inclined{H5186}{(H8689)} his ear{H241} unto me, therefore will I call{H7121}{(H8799)} upon him as long as I live{H3117}. 3 The sorrows{H2256} of death{H4194} compassed{H661}{(H8804)} me, and the pains{H4712} of hell{H7585} gat hold{H4672}{(H8804)} upon me: I found{H4672}{(H8799)} trouble{H6869} and sorrow{H3015}. 4 Then called{H7121}{(H8799)} I upon the name{H8034} of the LORD{H3068}; O LORD{H3068}, I beseech{H577} thee, deliver{H4422}{(H8761)} my soul{H5315}. 5 Gracious{H2587} is the LORD{H3068}, and righteous{H6662}; yea, our God{H430} is merciful{H7355}{(H8764)}. 6 The LORD{H3068} preserveth{H8104}{(H8802)} the simple{H6612}: I was brought low{H1809}{(H8804)}, and he helped{H3467}{(H8686)} me. 7 Return{H7725}{(H8798)} unto thy rest{H4494}, O my soul{H5315}; for the LORD{H3068} hath dealt bountifully{H1580}{(H8804)} with thee. 8 For thou hast delivered{H2502}{(H8765)} my soul{H5315} from death{H4194}, mine eyes{H5869} from tears{H1832}, and my feet{H7272} from falling{H1762}. 9 I will walk{H1980}{(H8691)} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068} in the land{H776} of the living{H2416}. 10 I believed{H539}{(H8689)}, therefore have I spoken{H1696}{(H8762)}: I was greatly{H3966} afflicted{H6031}{(H8804)}: 11 I said{H559}{(H8804)} in my haste{H2648}{(H8800)}, All men{H120} are liars{H3576}{(H8802)}. 12 What shall I render{H7725}{(H8686)} unto the LORD{H3068} for all his benefits{H8408} toward me? 13 I will take{H5375}{(H8799)} the cup{H3563} of salvation{H3444}, and call{H7121}{(H8799)} upon the name{H8034} of the LORD{H3068}. 14 I will pay{H7999}{(H8762)} my vows{H5088} unto the LORD{H3068} now in the presence of all his people{H5971}. 15 Precious{H3368} in the sight{H5869} of the LORD{H3068} is the death{H4194} of his saints{H2623}. 16 O LORD{H3068}, truly{H577} I am thy servant{H5650}; I am thy servant{H5650}, and the son{H1121} of thine handmaid{H519}: thou hast loosed{H6605}{(H8765)} my bonds{H4147}. 17 I will offer{H2076}{(H8799)} to thee the sacrifice{H2077} of thanksgiving{H8426}, and will call{H7121}{(H8799)} upon the name{H8034} of the LORD{H3068}. 18 I will pay{H7999}{(H8762)} my vows{H5088} unto the LORD{H3068} now in the presence of all his people{H5971}, 19 In the courts{H2691} of the LORD'S{H3068} house{H1004}, in the midst{H8432} of thee, O Jerusalem{H3389}. Praise{H1984}{(H8761)} ye the LORD{H3050}.
