Chapter 116

  I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications.  

-

  Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon [him] as long as I live.  

-

  The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.  

-

  Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.  

-

  Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God [is] merciful.  

-

  The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.  

-

  Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.  

-

  For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, [and] my feet from falling.  

-

  I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.  

-

  I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:  

-

  I said in my haste, All men [are] liars.  

-

  What shall I render unto the LORD [for] all his benefits toward me?  

-

  I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.  

-

  I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.  

-

  Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his saints.  

-

  O LORD, truly I [am] thy servant; I [am] thy servant, [and] the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.  

-

  I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.  

-

  I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,  

-

  In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
