Psalms 116 – I Love the LORD

A personal thanksgiving from someone the LORD rescued from the sorrows of death.

Psalms 116 – I Love the Lord Who Heard Me

Following the trust in the living God from Psalms 115, this deeply personal psalm opens 'I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice,' recalling a rescue from the sorrows of death.


The title of the hundrid and sixtenthe salm. Alleluya. Alle hethen men, herie ye the Lord; alle puplis, herie ye hym.

For his merci is confermyd on vs; and the treuthe of the Lord dwellith with outen ende.

Its confession that God heard first, prompting love in return, mirrors <a href="/bible/wycliffe/1-john/chapter-4/19">1 John 4:19</a>, and the psalmist's vow to praise publicly continues into <a href="/bible/wycliffe/psalms/chapter-117">Psalms 117</a>.
