Psalms 116 (MSB)

¹ I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice—my appeal for mercy.

² Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live.

³ The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow.

⁴ Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, deliver my soul!”

⁵ The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.

⁶ The LORD preserves the simplehearted; I was helpless, and He saved me.

⁷ Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.

⁸ For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

⁹ I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

¹⁰ I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”

¹¹ In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!”

¹² How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me?

¹³ I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.

¹⁴ I will fulfill 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 Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds.

¹⁷ I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.

¹⁸ I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people,

¹⁹ in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
