Psalms 116

1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard 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 to 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 encompassed me, and the pains of hell came 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 I called upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, 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; yes, our God [is] merciful.

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 helped me.

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

7 Return to thy rest, O my soul; 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, my 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 to the LORD [for] all his benefits towards 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 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] thy servant; I [am] thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast 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 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 to 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 thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

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