Psalms 116

¹I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice,

²Because he has turned his ear to me,

³The cords of death surrounded me,

⁴Then I called on the LORD’s name:

⁵The LORD is gracious and righteous.

⁶The LORD preserves the simple.

⁷Return to your rest, my soul,

⁸For you have delivered my soul from death,

⁹I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

¹⁰I believed, therefore I said,

¹¹I said in my haste,

¹²What will I give to the LORD for all his benefits toward me?

¹³I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the LORD’s name.

¹⁴I will pay my vows to the LORD,

¹⁵Precious in the LORD’s sight is the death of his holy ones.

¹⁶LORD, truly I am your servant.

¹⁷I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

¹⁸I will pay my vows to the LORD,

¹⁹in the courts of the LORD’s house,
