Psalms 116 — NWB

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