Psalms 116

¹I love the Lord, because he hath heard

²Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,

³The sorrows of death compassed me,

⁴Then called I upon the name of the Lord;

⁵Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;

⁶The Lord preserveth the simple:

⁷Return unto thy rest, O my soul;

⁸For thou hast delivered my soul from death,

⁹I will walk before the Lord

¹⁰I believed, therefore have I spoken:

¹¹I said in my haste,

¹²What shall I render unto the Lord

¹³I will take the cup of salvation,

¹⁴I will pay my vows unto the Lord

¹⁵Precious in the sight of the Lord

¹⁶Oh Lord, truly I am thy servant;

¹⁷I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

¹⁸I will pay my vows unto the Lord

¹⁹In the courts of the Lord’s house,
