Psalm 116
|
|
| 116:1
I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. |
|
| 116:2
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him
as long as I live. |
|
| 116:3
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me:
I found trouble and sorrow. |
|
| 116:4
Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver
my soul. |
|
| 116:5
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. |
|
| 116:6
The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. |
|
| 116:7
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with
thee. |
|
| 116:8
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my
feet from falling. |
|
| 116:9
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. |
|
| 116:10
I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: |
|
| 116:11
I said in my haste, All men are liars. |
|
| 116:12
What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? |
|
| 116:13
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. |
|
| 116:14
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. |
|
| 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his
saints. |
 (116:15) "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints."
|
| 116:16
O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine
handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
|
| 116:17
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the
name of the LORD. |
|
| 116:18
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. |
|
| 116:19
In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
Praise ye the LORD.
