Psalm 116

116:1

I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice—my appeal for mercy.

116:2

Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live.

116:3

The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow.

116:4

Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, deliver my soul!”

116:5

The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.

116:6

The LORD preserves the simplehearted; I was helpless, and He saved me.

116:7

Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.

116:8

For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

116:9

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

116:10

I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”

116:11

In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!”

116:12

How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me?

116:13

I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.

116:14

I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people.

116:15

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.

116:16

Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds.

116:17

I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.

116:18

I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people,

116:19

in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
