Psalms - Chapter 116 | English Standard Version

  • 1. I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy.
  • 2. Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
  • 3. The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish.
  • 4. Then I called on the name of the LORD: "O LORD, I pray, deliver my soul!"
  • 5. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; our God is merciful.
  • 6. The LORD preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me.
  • 7. Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
  • 8. For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling;
  • 9. I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
  • 10. I believed, even when I spoke, "I am greatly afflicted";
  • 11. I said in my alarm, "All mankind are liars."
  • 12. What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits to me?
  • 13. I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD,
  • 14. I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
  • 15. Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
  • 16. O LORD, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds.
  • 17. I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.
  • 18. I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,
  • 19. in the courts of the house of the LORD, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
