Psalms 116

1I LOVEH157 the LORDH3068, becauseH3588 he hath heardH8085 my voiceH6963 and my supplicationsH8469.

2BecauseH3588 he hath inclinedH5186 his earH241 unto meH7121, therefore will I callH7121 uponH7121 him as longH3117 as I liveH3117.

3The cordsH2256 of deathH4194 compassed meH661, and the painsH2256 of SheolH7585 gat hold upon meH661: I foundH4672 troubleH6869 and sorrowH3015.

4Then calledH7121 I uponH7121 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068; O LORDH3068, I beseechH577 thee, deliverH4422 my soulH5315.

5GraciousH2587 is the LORDH3068, and righteousH6662; yea, our GodH430 is mercifulH2587.

6The LORDH3068 preserveth the simple: I was broughtH1809 lowH1809, and he savedH3467 meH3467.

7ReturnH7725 unto thy restH4496, O my soulH5315; for the LORDH3068 hath dealtH1580 bountifullyH1580 with thee.

8For thou hast delivered my soulH5315 from deathH4194, mineH4480 eyesH5869 from tearsH1832, and my feetH7272 from falling.

9I will walkH1980 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 in the landH776 of the livingH2416.

10I believeH539, for I will speakH1696: I was greatlyH3966 afflicted:

11I saidH559 in my hasteH2648, AllH3605 menH120 are a lieH3576.

12WhatH4100 shall I renderH7725 unto the LORDH3068 for allH3605 his benefitsH8408 towardH5921 meH7725?

13I will takeH5375 the cupH3563 of salvationH3444, and callH7121 uponH7121 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.

14I will payH7999 my vowsH5088 unto the LORDH3068, yea, in the presenceH5048 of allH3605 his peopleH5971.

15PreciousH3368 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 is the deathH4194 of his saints.

16O LORDH3068, trulyH3588 I am thy servantH5650: I am thy servantH5650, the sonH1121 of thine handmaidH519; thou hast loosed my bondsH4147.

17I will offerH2076 to thee the sacrificeH2077 of thanksgivingH8426, and will callH7121 uponH7121 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.

18I will payH7999 my vowsH5088 unto the LORDH3068, yea, in the presenceH5048 of allH3605 his peopleH5971.

19In the courts of the LORD’SH3068 houseH1004, in the midstH8432 of thee, O JerusalemH3389. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3068.
