Psalm 116

The complete chapter, editable in the CMS

I love that the LORD should hear my voice and my supplications.

Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, Therefore will I call upon Him all my days.

The cords of death compassed me, And the straits of the nether-world got hold upon me; I found trouble and sorrow.

But I called upon the name of the LORD: 'I beseech thee, O LORD, deliver my soul.'

Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yea, our God is compassionate.

The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.

Return, O my soul, unto Thy rest; For the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, And my feet from stumbling.

I shall walk before the LORD In the lands of the living.

I trusted even when I spoke: 'I am greatly afflicted.'

I said in my haste: 'All men are liars.'

How can I repay unto the LORD All His bountiful dealings toward me?

I will lift up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the LORD.

My vows will I pay unto the LORD, Yea, in the presence of all His people.

Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His saints.

I beseech Thee, O LORD, for I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bands.

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the LORD.

I will pay my vows unto the LORD, Yea, in the presence of all His people;

In the courts of the LORD’S house, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
