Psalms 116
Chapter 116 of 150
1 I love the Lord, who listened to my voice in supplication,
2 Who turned an ear to me on the day I called.
3 I was caught by the cords of death; the snares of Sheol had seized me; I felt agony and dread.
4 Then I called on the name of the Lord, “O Lord, save my life!”
5 Gracious is the Lord and righteous; yes, our God is merciful.
6 The Lord protects the simple; I was helpless, but he saved me.
7 Return, my soul, to your rest; the Lord has been very good to you.
8 For my soul has been freed from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9 I shall walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
10 I kept faith, even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted!”
11 I said in my alarm, “All men are liars!”
12 How can I repay the Lord for all the great good done for me?
13 I will raise 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 Dear in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his devoted.
16 Lord, I am your servant, your servant, the child of your maidservant; you have loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer a sacrifice of praise 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. Hallelujah!
