Noyes - Psalms - 116

116:1  I rejoice that the LORD hath heard the voice of my supplication,

116:2  That he hath inclined his ear to me and heard me; I will call upon him as long as I live.

116:3  The snares of death encompassed me, And the pains of the underworld seized upon me; I found distress and sorrow.

116:4  Then called I upon the LORD: O LORD! deliver me!

116:5  Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful.

116:6  The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and he helped me.

116:7  Return, O my soul! to thy rest! For the LORD hath dealt kindly with thee.

116:8  For thou hast preserved me from death; Thou hast kept mine eyes from tears, And my feet from falling!

116:9  I shall walk before the LORD, In the land of the living.

116:10  I had trust, although I said, "I am grievously afflicted!"

116:11  I said in my distress, "All men are liars."

116:12  What shall I render to the LORD For all his benefits to me?

116:13  I will take the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the LORD;

116:14  I will pay my vows to the LORD, In the presence of all his people.

116:15  Precious in the eyes of the LORD Is the death of his holy ones.

116:16  Hear, O LORD! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid! Thou hast loosed my bonds.

116:17  I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the LORD.

116:18  I will pay my vows to the LORD In the presence of all his people,

116:19  In the courts of the house of the LORD, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
