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.
