Psalm 116

¹I love the Lord My voice and my supplications.

²Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

³The pains of death surrounded me, And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow.

⁴Then I called upon the name of the Lord “O Lord

⁵Gracious is the Lord Yes, our God is merciful.

⁶The Lord I was brought low, and He saved me.

⁷Return to your rest, O my soul, For the Lord

⁸For You have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.

⁹I will walk before the Lord In the land of the living.

¹⁰I believed, therefore I spoke, “I am greatly afflicted.”

¹¹I said in my haste, “All men are liars.”

¹²What shall I render to the Lord For all His benefits toward me?

¹³I will take up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the Lord

¹⁴I will pay my vows to the Lord Now in the presence of all His people.

¹⁵Precious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of His saints.

¹⁶O Lord I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have loosed my bonds.

¹⁷I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the Lord

¹⁸I will pay my vows to the Lord Now in the presence of all His people,

¹⁹In the courts of the Lord In the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord
