Psalms 116 ⓘ

116:1 I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.

116:2 Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

116:3 The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.

116:4 Then I called on the LORD’s name: “LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul.”

116:5 The LORD is gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.

116:6 The LORD preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.

116:7 Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.

116:8 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

116:9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

116:10 I believed, therefore I said, “I was greatly afflicted.”

116:11 I said in my haste, “All people are liars.”

116:12 What will I give to the LORD for all his benefits towards me?

116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the LORD’s name.

116:14 I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people.

116:15 Precious in the LORD’s sight is the death of his saints.

116:16 LORD, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your servant girl. You have freed me from my chains.

116:17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the LORD’s name.

116:18 I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people,

116:19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in the middle of you, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
