King James Version (1611 Edition)
Psalms 116
1 I loue the Lord: because hee hath heard my voice, & my supplications. 2 Because hee hath inclined his eare vnto mee: therefore will I call vpon him as long as I liue. 3 The sorrowes of death compassed me, and the paines of hell gate hold vpon me: I found trouble and sorrow. 4 Then called I vpon the Name of the Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee deliuer my soule. 5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous: yea our God is mercifull. 6 The Lord preserueth the simple: I was brought low, and hee helped me. 7 Returne vnto thy rest, O my soule: for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee. 8 For thou hast deliuered my soule from death, mine eyes from teares, and my feete from falling. 9 I wil walke before the Lord: in the land of the liuing.
10 I beleeued, therfore haue I spoken: I was greatly afflicted. 11 I said in my haste: All men are lyers. 12 What shall I render vnto the Lord: for all his benefits towards mee? 13 I will take the cup of saluation: and call vpon the Name of the Lord. 14 I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord: now in the presence of all his people. 15 Precious in ye sight of the Lord: is the death of his Saints. 16 Oh Lord, truely I am thy seruant, I am thy seruant, and the sonne of thy handmayde: thou hast loosed my bonds. 17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thankes-giuing: and will call vpon the Name of the Lord. 18 I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord: now in the presence of all his people: 19 In the Courts of the Lords house, in the middes of thee, O Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
