Psalms 116 – I Love the LORD

I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

Because he hath inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

The sorrows of death encompassed me, and the pains of hell came upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

Then I called upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yes, our God is merciful.

The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

Return to thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

For thou hast 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 have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits towards me?

I will take 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 all his people.

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

O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

I will offer to thee 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 thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
