Psalms 116 / 150
- 1I love the LORD , for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
- 2Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
- 3The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me; I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.
- 4Then I called on the name of the LORD : "O LORD , save me!"
- 5The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
- 6The LORD protects the simplehearted; when I was in great need, he saved me.
- 7Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
- 8For you, O LORD , have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
- 9that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
- 10I believed; therefore I said, "I am greatly afflicted."
- 11And in my dismay I said, "All men are liars."
- 12How can I repay the LORD for all his goodness to me?
- 13I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD .
- 14I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
- 15Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
- 16O LORD , truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant ; you have freed me from my chains.
- 17I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD .
- 18I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,
- 19in the courts of the house of the LORD - in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD .
