Psalms 116

1 Alleluia. I am well pleased, because the Lord will listen to the voice of my supplication.

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

2 Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him while I live.

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

3 The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me: I found affliction 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 I called on 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 righteous; yes, our God has pity.

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

6 The Lord preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he delivered me.

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

7 Return to 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 he has 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 shall be well-pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living.

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

10 Alleluia. I believed, therefore I have spoken: but I was greatly afflicted.

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

11 And I said in mine amazement, 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 wherein he has rewarded 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 to the Lord, 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, I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have burst by bonds asunder.

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 praise, 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 to the Lord, 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, Jerusalem.

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