Psalms 116
1I AM full of love, because the Lord will hear the voice of my supplication.
2Because to me He inclined His ear: therefore in my days I will invoke Him.
3The pangs of death encompassed me; the perils of Hades found me: I met with distress and sorrow:
4thereupon I invoked the name of the Lord; O Lord deliver my soul.
5The Lord is gracious and righteous; merciful indeed is our God.
6The Lord preserveth the sincere: I was brought low but He saved me.
7Return, O my soul, to thy rest: for the Lord hath dealt kindly with thee.
8Because He hath delivered my soul from death; mine eyes from tears and my feet from falling:
9I will worship before the Lord in the land of the living. Alleluia!
11I believed therefore I spake; for I was brought very low:
12and in my perturbation I said, Every man is a liar. What shall I render to the Lord; for all that He hath done for me?
13I will take the cup of thanksgiving; and invoke the name of the Lord.
14I will pay my vows to the Lord; in the presence of all His people.
15At a high rate; in the sight of the Lord; is estimated the death of His saints.
16O Lord I am Thy servant—I am Thy servant and the son of Thy handmaid. Thou hast burst my bonds asunder:
17to thee I will offer a sacrifice of praise and call on the name of the Lord.
18I will pay my vows to the Lord; in the presence of all his people—
19in the courts of the house of the Lord—in the midst of thee, Jerusalem.
