# Chapter 116
|
|
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! |
