Chapter 116
1
I love the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*, 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 +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*; O +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5
Gracious is the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6
The +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* 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 +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* 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 +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* for all his benefits toward me?
13
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*.
14
I will pay my vows unto the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* now in the presence of all his people.
15
Precious in the sight of the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* is the death of his saints.
16
O +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*, 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 +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*.
18
I will pay my vows unto the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* now in the presence of all his people,
19
In the courts of the +w LORD’s|strong=“H3068”+w* house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the +w LORD|strong=“H3050”+w*.
