Psalms 116 — WBMS

116Verse 1Alleluia. I loved the Lord; for the Lord shall hear the voice of my prayer.^{Verse 2}For he bowed down his ear to me; and I shall inwardly call him in my days.^{Verse 3}The sorrows of death encompass-ed me; and the perils of hell found me. I found tribulation and sorrow;^{Verse 4}and I called inwardly the name of the Lord. Thou, Lord, deliver my soul;^{Verse 5}the Lord is merciful, and just [or rightwise]; and our God doeth mercy.^{Verse 6}And the Lord keepeth little children; I was meeked, and he delivered me.^{Verse 7}My soul, turn thou into thy rest; for the Lord hath done well to thee.^{Verse 8}For he hath delivered my soul from death; mine eyes from weepings, and my feet from falling down.^{Verse 9}I shall please the Lord; in the country of them that live.^{Verse 10}I believed, for which thing I spake; forsooth I was made low full much.^{Verse 11}I said in my passing; Each man is a liar.^{Verse 12}What shall I yield to the Lord; for all things which he hath yielded to me?^{Verse 13}I shall take the cup of health; and I shall inwardly call the name of the Lord.^{Verse 14}I shall yield my vows to the Lord before all his people;^{Verse 15}the death of saints of the Lord is precious in his sight.^{Verse 16}O! Lord, for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds,^{Verse 17}to thee I shall offer a sacrifice of praising; and I shall inwardly call the name of the Lord.^{Verse 18}I shall yield my vows to the Lord, in the sight of all his people;^{Verse 19}in the foreyards of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, Jerusalem.
