Psalms 116

1. I love the LORD, because He has heard My voice and my supplications.
   
2. Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.
   
3. The pains of death surrounded me, And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow.
   
4. Then I called upon the name of the LORD: “O LORD, I implore You, deliver my soul!”
   
5. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful.
   
6. The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.
   
7. Return to your rest, O my soul, For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
   
8. For You have delivered my soul from death, My 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 I spoke, “I am greatly afflicted.”
    
11. I said in my haste, “All men are liars.”
    
12. What shall I render to the LORD For all His benefits toward me?
    
13. I will take up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the LORD.
    
14. I will pay my vows to 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 Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have loosed my bonds.
    
17. I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the LORD.
    
18. I will pay my vows to the LORD Now in the presence of all His people,
    
19. In the courts of the LORD’S house, In the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
