King James VersionPsalms116

Psalms

1 I love the LORD, be­cause he hath heard my voice and my sup­pli­ca­tions.
2 Be­cause he hath in­clined his ear unto me, there­fore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3 The sor­rows of death com­passed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trou­ble and sor­row.
4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I be­seech thee, de­liv­er my soul.
5 Gra­cious is the LORD, and righ­teous; yea, our God is mer­ci­ful.
6 The LORD pre­serveth the sim­ple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7 Re­turn unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt boun­ti­ful­ly with thee.
8 For thou hast de­liv­ered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9 I will walk be­fore the LORD in the land of the liv­ing.
10 I be­lieved, there­fore have I spo­ken: I was great­ly af­flict­ed:
11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12 What shall I ren­der unto the LORD for all his ben­e­fits to­ward me?
13 I will take the cup of sal­va­tion, and call upon the name of the LORD.
14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the pres­ence of all his peo­ple.
15 Pre­cious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
16 O LORD, tru­ly I am thy ser­vant; I am thy ser­vant, and the son of thine hand­maid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
17 I will of­fer to thee the sac­ri­fice of thanks­giv­ing, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the pres­ence of all his peo­ple,
19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
