Psalm 116

I love the Lord, because He has heard
my voice and my supplications,
Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

The pains of death surrounded me,
and the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me;
I found trouble and sorrow.
Then I called upon the name of the Lord;
"o Lord I implore you, deliver my soul!"

Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;
Yes, our Lord is merciful.
The Lord preserves the simple;
I was brought low and He saved me.
Return to your rest, oh my soul,
For the Lord has dealth bountifully with you.

For you have delivered my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
and my feet from falling.
I will walk before the Lord
In the land of the living.

I believed, therefore I spoke,
"I am greatly afflicted"
I said in my haste
"all men are liars"

What shall I render the Lord,
for all His benefits toward me?
I will take up the cup of salvation,
and call upon the name of the Lord.
I will pay my vows to the Lord
Now in the presence of His people.

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

O Lord truly I am your servant;
I am your servant, the daughter of your maidservant;
You have loosed my bonds.
I will offer to you the sacrifice of Thanksgiving,
and will call upon the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows to the Lord
Now in the presence of all His people,
In the courts of the Lord's house,
In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.

Praise the LORD!
