Psalms 116

1 I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my supplications.

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

2 Because he has inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

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

3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell 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 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I plead to you, 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 merciful.

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

6 The LORD perserves the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

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

7 Return unto your rest, O my soul; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.

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

8 For you have delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

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

9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

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

10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was 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 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?

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

13 I will take 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 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now 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 O LORD, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have loosed 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 offer to you 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 now 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 you, O Jerusalem. Praise all of you the LORD.

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