Psalms — Chapter 116
Gracious is the Lord, and righteous—Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints.
1
I alove the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the apains of bhell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
4
Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5
Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God isamerciful.
6
The Lord preserveth the asimple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
9
I will walk before the Lord in the aland of the living.
10
I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
11
I said in my ahaste, All men are liars.
12
What shall I arender unto the Lordfor all his benefits toward me?
13
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
14
I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.
15
Precious in the sight of the Lordis the adeath of his saints.
16
O Lord, truly I am thy aservant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
17
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will acall upon the name of the Lord.
18
I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people,
19
In the acourts of the Lord’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
