Psalms 116:1-19

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