Psalms 116

1 I love that the LORD should hear my voice and my supplications.

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

2 Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him all my days.

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

3 The cords of death compassed me, and the straits of the nether-world got hold upon me; I found 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 But I called upon the name of the LORD: 'I beseech thee, O LORD, deliver my soul.'

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

5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is compassionate.

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

6 The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.

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

7 Return, O my soul, unto Thy rest; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

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

8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.

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

9 I shall walk before the LORD in the lands of the living.

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

10 I trusted even when I spoke: 'I am greatly afflicted.'

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

11 I said in my haste: 'All men are liars.'

I said in my feare, All men are lyers.

12 How can I repay unto the LORD all His bountiful dealings toward me?

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

13 I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

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

14 My vows will I pay unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of 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 I beseech Thee, O LORD, for I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bands.

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 offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and 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 unto the LORD, yea, in the presence 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 LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.

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