Psalms 116

Thomson(i) 1 An Alleluia. I Am full of love, because the Lord will hear the voice of my supplication. 2 Because to me he inclined his ear: therefore in my days I will invoke him. 3 The pangs of death encompassed me; the perils of Hades found me: I met with distress and sorrow: 4 thereupon I invoked the name of the Lord; Lord deliver my soul. 5 The Lord is gracious and righteous; merciful indeed is our God. 6 The Lord preserveth the sincere: I was brought low but he saved me. 7 Return, my soul, to thy rest: for the Lord hath dealt kindly with thee. 8 Because he hath delivered my soul from death; mine eyes from tears and my feet from falling: 9 I will worship before the Lord in the land of the living. Alleluia! 10 I believed therefore I spake; for I was brought very low: 11 and in my perturbation I said, Every man is a liar. 12 What shall I render to the Lord; for all that he hath done for me? 13 I will take the cup of thanksgiving; and invoke the name of the Lord. 14 I will pay my vows to the Lord; in the presence of all his people. 15 At a high rate; in the sight of the Lord; is estimated the death of his saints. 16 Lord I am thy servant; I am thy servant and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast burst my bonds asunder: 17 to thee I will offer a sacrifice of praise and call on the name of the Lord. 18 I will pay my vows to the Lord; in the presence of all his people; in the courts of the house of the Lord; 19 in the midst of thee, Jerusalem.
