Psalms 116

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

I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications;

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

For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during [all] my days.

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

The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow: (Sheol h7585)

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

Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul.

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

Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful.

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

Jehovah keepeth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.

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

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.

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

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

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

I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.

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

I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted.

11 I said in my feare, All men are lyers.

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

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

What shall I render unto Jehovah, [for] all his benefits toward me?

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

I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah.

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

I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people.

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

Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.

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

Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

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

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.

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

I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people,

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

In the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
