Salmo 116

¹ I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. ² Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. ³ The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. ⁴ Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. ⁵ Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. ⁶ The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. ⁷ Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee. ⁸ For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. ⁹ I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. ¹⁰ I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: ¹¹ I said in my haste, All men are liars. ¹² What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me? ¹³ I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. ¹⁴ I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people. ¹⁵ Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. ¹⁶ O Lord, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. ¹⁷ I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord. ¹⁸ I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people, ¹⁹ In the courts of the Lord’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
