Psalm 116

Psalm CXVI.

I ^alove the Lord, because ^bhe hath heard

^bbMy voice and my supplications.

²Because he hath ^cinclined his ear unto me,

Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

^3dThe sorrows of death ^ecompassed me,

And the ^fpains of hell gat hold upon me:

I found trouble and sorrow.

^4gThen called I upon the name of the Lord;

O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

^5hGracious is the Lord, and ⁱrighteous;

Yea, our God is ^hmerciful.

⁶The Lord preserveth the ^ksimple:

^lI was brought low, and he helped me.

⁷Return unto thy ^mrest, O my soul;

For the Lord ⁿhath dealt bountifully with thee.

^8oFor thou hast delivered my soul from death,

Mine eyes from tears,

And ^omy feet from falling.

⁹I will walk before the Lord

^pIn the land of the living.

^10qI believed, therefore have I spoken:

I was greatly afflicted:

^11rI said in my haste,

^sAll men are liars.

¹²What shall I ^trender unto the Lord

For all his ^tbenefits towards me?

¹³I will take the ^ucup of salvation,

^xAnd call upon the name of the Lord.

^14yI will pay my vows unto the Lord

Now in the presence of all his people.

^15zPrecious in the sight of the Lord

Is the death of his ^asaints.

¹⁶Oh Lord, truly ^bI am thy servant;

I am thy servant, and ^cthe son of thy handmaid:

Thou hast ^dloosed my bonds.

¹⁷I will ^eoffer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

^fAnd will call upon the name of the Lord.

^18gI will pay my vows unto the Lord

Now in the presence of all his people,

¹⁹In the ^hcourts of the Lord’s house,

In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

ⁱPraise ye the Lord.
