Psalms 116

1 I have loved, because the Lord will hear the voice of my prayer.

I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voyce and my prayers.

2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me: and in my days I will call upon him.

For he hath inclined his eare vnto me, whe I did call vpon him in my dayes.

3 The sorrows of death have encompassed me: and the perils of hell have found me. I met with trouble and sorrow: (Sheol h7585)

When the snares of death copassed me, and the griefes of the graue caught me: when I founde trouble and sorowe. (Sheol h7585)

4 And I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.

Then I called vpon the Name of the Lord, saying, I beseech thee, O Lord, deliuer my soule.

5 The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.

The Lord is mercifull and righteous, and our God is full of compassion.

6 The Lord is the keeper of little ones: I was little and he delivered me.

The Lord preserueth the simple: I was in miserie and he saued me.

7 Turn, O my soul, into thy rest: for the Lord hath been bountiful to thee.

Returne vnto thy rest, O my soule: for the Lord hath bene beneficiall vnto thee,

8 For he hath delivered my soul from death: my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

Because thou hast deliuered my soule from death, mine eyes from teares, and my feete from falling.

9 I will please the Lord in the land of the living.

I shall walke before the Lord in the lande of the liuing.

10 I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.

I beleeued, therefore did I speake: for I was sore troubled.

11 I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.

I said in my feare, All men are lyers.

12 What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things he hath rendered unto me?

What shall I render vnto the Lord for all his benefites toward me?

13 I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

I will take the cup of saluation, and call vpon the Name of the Lord.

14 I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people:

I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, euen nowe in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saintes.

16 O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:

Beholde, Lord: for I am thy seruant, I am thy seruant, and the sonne of thine handmaide: thou hast broken my bondes.

17 I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

I will offer to thee a sacrifice of prayse, and will call vpon the Name of the Lord.

18 I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people:

I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, euen nowe in the presence of all his people,

19 In the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

In the courtes of ye Lords house, euen in the middes of thee, O Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
