Psalm 116

I love the LORD because he has heard my voice and my supplications.
Because he has inclined his ear unto me,
therefore I will call upon him as long as I live.
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell took hold of me:
I found trouble and sorrow.
Then I called upon the name of the LORD;
O LORD, I beseech you, deliver my soul.
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;
yes our God is merciful.
The LORD preserves the simple:
I was brought low, and he helped me.
Return to your rest, O my soul:
for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
For you have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
I believed, therefore I have spoken:
I was greatly afflicted:
I said in my haste, All men are liars.
What shall I render unto the LORD
for all his benefits toward me?
I will take the cup of salvation,
and call upon the name of the LORD.
I will pay my vows unto the LORD
now in the presence of all his people.
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
O LORD, truly I am your servant;
I an your servant, and the son of your handmaid;
you have loosed my bonds.
I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and will call upon the name of the LORD.
I will pay my vows unto the LORD
now in the presence of all his people,
In the courts of the LORD's house,
in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
Praise ye the LORD.
