“1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice [and] my
supplications. 2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore
will I call upon [him] as long as I live. 3 The sorrows of death
compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble
and sorrow. 4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech
thee, deliver my soul. 5 Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; yea, our
God [is] merciful. 6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low,
and he helped me. 7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath
dealt bountifully with thee. 8 For thou hast delivered my soul from
death, mine eyes from tears, [and] my feet from falling. 9 I will walk
before the LORD in the land of the living.”
“10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: 11 I
said in my haste, All men [are] liars. 12 What shall I render unto the
LORD [for] all his benefits toward me? 13 I will take the cup of
salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. 14 I will pay my vows
unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. 15 Precious in the
sight of the LORD [is] the death of his saints. 16 O LORD, truly I [am]
thy servant; I [am] thy servant, [and] the son of thine handmaid: thou
hast loosed my bonds. 17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of
thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. 18 I will pay my
vows unto the LORD now 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.” (Psalm 116:1-19 AV)
