# Chapter 116
|
||
1 I love the Lord, because He has heard
|
||
My voice and my supplications.
|
||
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me,
|
||
Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.
|
||
3 The pains of death surrounded me,
|
||
And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me;
|
||
I found trouble and sorrow.
|
||
4 Then I called upon the name of the Lord:
|
||
“O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!”
|
||
5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;
|
||
Yes, our God is merciful.
|
||
6 The Lord preserves the simple;
|
||
I was brought low, and He saved me.
|
||
7 Return to your rest, O my soul,
|
||
For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
|
||
8 For You have delivered my soul from death,
|
||
My eyes from tears,
|
||
And my feet from falling.
|
||
9 I will walk before the Lord
|
||
In the land of the living.
|
||
10 I believed, therefore I spoke,
|
||
“I am greatly afflicted.”
|
||
11 I said in my haste,
|
||
“All men are liars.”
|
||
12 What shall I render to the Lord
|
||
For all His benefits toward me?
|
||
13 I will take up the cup of salvation,
|
||
And call upon the name of the Lord.
|
||
14 I will pay my vows to the Lord
|
||
Now in the presence of all His people.
|
||
15 Precious in the sight of the Lord
|
||
Is the death of His saints.
|
||
16 O Lord, truly 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 will call upon the name of the Lord.
|
||
18 I will pay my vows to the Lord
|
||
Now in the presence of all His people,
|
||
19 In the courts of the Lord’s house,
|
||
In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
|
||
Praise the Lord! |
