Psalms 116

Brenton(i) 1 (115:1) Alleluia. I am well pleased, because the Lord will hearken to the voice of my supplication. 2 (115:2) Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him while I live. 3 (115:3) The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me: I found affliction and sorrow. 4 (115:4) Then I called on the name of the Lord: O Lord, deliver my soul. 5 (115:5) The Lord is merciful and righteous; yea, our God has pity. 6 (115:6) The Lord preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he delivered me. 7 (115:7) Return to thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with thee. 8 (115:8) For he has delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. 9 (115:9) I shall be well-pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living. Alleluia: 10 (115:10) I believed, wherefore I have spoken: but I was greatly afflicted. 11 (115:11) And I said in mine amazement, Every man is a liar. 12 (115:12) What shall I render to the Lord for all the things wherein he has rewarded me? 13 (115:13) I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. 14 (115:14) I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people. 15 (115:15) Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. 16 (115:16) O Lord, I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast burst by bonds asunder. 17 (115:17) I will offer to thee the sacrifice of praise, and will call upon the name of the Lord. 18 (115:18) I will pay my vows unto the Lord, in the presence of all his people, 19 (115:19) in the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of thee, Jerusalem.
