Psalm CXVI.

I alove the Lord, because bhe hath heard

bbMy voice and my supplications.

2  Because he hath cinclined his ear unto me,

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

3  dThe sorrows of death ecompassed me,

And the fpains of hell * gat hold upon me:

I found trouble and sorrow.

4  gThen called I upon the name of the Lord;

O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

5  hGracious is the Lord, and irighteous;

Yea, our God is hmerciful.

6  The Lord preserveth the ksimple:

lI was brought low, and he helped me.

7  Return unto thy mrest, O my soul;

For the Lord nhath dealt bountifully with thee.

8  oFor thou hast delivered my soul from death,

Mine eyes from tears,

And omy feet from falling.

9  I will walk before the Lord

pIn the land of the living.

10  qI believed, therefore have I spoken:

I was greatly afflicted:

11  rI said in my haste,

sAll men are liars.

12  What shall I trender unto the Lord

For all his tbenefits towards me?

13  I will take the ucup of salvation,

xAnd call upon the name of the Lord.

14  yI will pay my vows unto the Lord

Now in the presence of all his people.

15  zPrecious in the sight of the Lord

Is the death of his asaints.

16  Oh Lord, truly bI am thy servant;

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

Thou hast dloosed my bonds.

17  I will eoffer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

fAnd will call upon the name of the Lord.

18  gI will pay my vows unto the Lord

Now in the presence of all his people,

19  In the hcourts of the Lord’s house,

In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

iPraise ye the Lord.
