Psalm 116

I love the Lord, because he hath
heard my voice and my supplications.

Because he hath inclined his
ear unto me, therefore will I

call upon him as long as I live.

The sorrows of death and the
pains of hell gat hold upon

me: I found trouble and sorrow.

Then called I upon the name of the Lord;
O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

Gracious is the Lord, and
righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

The Lord preserveth the simple: I
was brought low, and he helped me.

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the
Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.

For thou hast delivered my
soul from death, mine eyes from

tears, and my feet from falling.

I will walk before the Lord
in the land of the living.

I believed, therefore have I
spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

What shall I render unto the Lord
for all his benefits toward me?

I will take the cup of salvation,
and call upon the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows unto the Lord now
in the presence of all his people.

Precious in the sight of the
Lord is the death of his saints.

am thy servant, and the son of thine

handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

I will offer to thee the sacrifice
of thanksgiving, and will call

upon the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows unto the Lord now
in the presence of all his people.

In the courts of the Lord's house,
in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

Praise ye the Lord.

nations: praise him, all ye people.

great toward us: and the truth

of the Lord endureth for ever.

Praise ye the Lord.

O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is
good: because his mercy endureth for ever.

Let Israel now say, that
his mercy endureth for ever.

the house of Aaron now say, that
his mercy endureth for ever.

Let them now that fear the Lord say,
that his mercy endureth for ever.

I called upon the Lord in
distress: the Lord answered me,

and set me in a large place.

The Lord is on my side; I will
not fear: what can man do unto me?

The Lord taketh my part with them
that help me: therefore shall I see

my desire upon them that hate me.

It is better to trust in the Lord
than to put confidence in man.

It is better to trust in the Lord
than to put confidence in princes.

All nations compassed me about: but in
the name of the Lord will I destroy them.

They compassed me about; yea, they
compassed me about: but in the name

of the Lord I will destroy them.

They compassed me about like bees: they
are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in

the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

Thou hast thrust sore at me that I
might fall: but the Lord helped me.

The Lord is my strength and
song, and is become my salvation.

The voice of rejoicing and salvation is
in the tabernacles of the righteous: the

right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.

the right hand of the Lord doeth

valiantly.

I shall not die, but live, and
declare the works of the Lord.

The Lord hath chastened me sore: but
he hath not given me over unto death.

Open to me the gates of
righteousness: I will go into

them, and I will praise the Lord:

This gate of the Lord, into
which the righteous shall enter.

I will praise thee: for thou hast
heard me, and art become my salvation.

The stone which the builders refused
is become the head stone of the corner.

This is the Lord's doing; it
is marvellous in our eyes.

This is the day which the Lord hath
made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord,
I beseech thee, send now prosperity.

Blessed be he that cometh in the
name of the Lord: we have blessed

you out of the house of the Lord.

God is the Lord, which hath shewed us
light: bind the sacrifice with cords,

even unto the horns of the altar.

Thou art my God, and I will praise thee:
thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is
good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

the Lord, and he heard me.

lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

What shall be given unto thee?

or what shall be done unto
thee, thou false tongue?

with coals of juniper.

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech,
that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

My soul hath long dwelt
with him that hateth peace.

I am for peace: but when I

speak, they are for war.
