Psalm 116

I love the Lord, because he heard the voice of my prayer,

Because he inclined his ear to me; therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

The snares of death encompassed me, and the pains of the Grave laid hold of me; I suffered trouble and sorrow.

Then I called upon the Name of the Lord: “O Lord, I beseech you, deliver my soul.”

Gracious is the Lord and righteous; indeed, our God is full of compassion.

The Lord preserves the simple; I was in misery, and he helped me.

Turn again to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has rewarded you.

You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.

I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.

I believed, and therefore will I speak: “I am greatly troubled.” I said in my haste, “All men are liars.”

What shall I give unto the Lord for all the benefits that he has done unto me?

I will lift up the cup of salvation and call upon the Name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows unto the Lord in the presence of all his people; dear in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, and the child of your handmaid; you have broken my bonds asunder.

I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and will call upon the Name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows unto the Lord in the sight of all his people, in the courts of the Lord’s house, even in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord.
