116:1 I Love the LORD, because He hears My voice [and] my supplications. 116:2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I shall call [upon Him] as long as I live. 116:3 The cords of death encompassed me, And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow. 116:4 Then I called upon the name of the LORD: "O LORD, I beseech Thee, save my life!" 116:5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yes, our God is compassionate. 116:6 The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. 116:7 Return to your rest, O my soul, For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. 116:8 For Thou hast rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, My feet from stumbling. 116:9 I shall walk before the LORD In the land of the living. 116:10 I believed when I said, "I am greatly afflicted." 116:11 I said in my alarm, "All men are liars." 116:12 What shall I render to the LORD For all His benefits toward me? 116:13 I shall lift up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the LORD. 116:14 I shall pay my vows to the LORD, Oh [may it be] in the presence of all His people. 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His godly ones. 116:16 O LORD, surely I am Thy servant, I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast loosed my bonds. 116:17 To Thee I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving, And call upon the name of the LORD. 116:18 I shall pay my vows to the LORD, Oh [may it be] in the presence of all His people, 116:19 In the courts of the LORD's house, In the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
