Psalm One Hundred and Sixteen

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.
