﻿Psalm.
Chapter 116.
I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice—my appeal for mercy. 
Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live. 
The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow. 
Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, deliver my soul!” 
The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. 
The LORD preserves the simplehearted; I was helpless, and He saved me. 
Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. 
For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. 
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. 
I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.” 
In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!” 
How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me? 
I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD. 
I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people. 
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints. 
Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds. 
I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD. 
I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people, 
in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
