Chapter 116 |
| 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. |
