Psalm 116

I Love the Lord

116 I love the Lord, because he has heard 

my voice and my pleas for mercy. 

Because he inclined his ear to me, 

therefore I will call on him as long as I live. 

The snares of death encompassed me; 

the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; 

I suffered distress and anguish. 

Then I called on the name of the Lord: 

“O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!” 

Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; 

our God is merciful. 

The Lord preserves the simple; 

when I was brought low, he saved me. 

Return, O my soul, to your rest; 

for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. 

For you have delivered my soul from death, 

my eyes from tears, 

my feet from stumbling; 

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!
