Psalms 116 — KJV

116 Verse 1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. ^{Verse 2} Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. ^{Verse 3} The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. ^{Verse 4} Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. ^{Verse 5} Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. ^{Verse 6} The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. ^{Verse 7} Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. ^{Verse 8} For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine 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 unto the LORD for all his benefits toward 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 unto 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, and the son of thine 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 unto 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.
