PSALM 116
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1I love the Lord, because my voice
and prayers he did hear.
2I, while I live, will call on him,
who bow'd to me his ear.
3Of death the cords and sorrows did
about me compass round;
The pains of hell took hold on me,
I grief and trouble found.
4Upon the name of God the Lord
then did I call, and say,
Deliver thou my soul, O Lord,
I do thee humbly pray.
5God merciful and righteous is,
yea, gracious is our Lord.
6God saves the meek: I was brought low,
he did me help afford.
7O thou my soul, do thou return
unto thy quiet rest;
For largely, lo, the Lord to thee
his bounty hath exprest.
8For my distressed soul from death
deliver'd was by thee:
Thou didst my mourning eyes from tears,
my feet from falling, free.
9I in the land of those that live
will walk the Lord before.
10I did believe, therefore I spake:
I was afflicted sore.
11I said, when I was in my haste,
that all men liars be.
12What shall I render to the Lord
for all his gifts to me?
13I'll of salvation take the cup,
on God's name will I call:
14I'll pay my vows now to the Lord
before his people all.
15Dear in God's sight is his saints' death.
16Thy servant, Lord, am I;
Thy servant sure, thine handmaid's son:
my bands thou didst untie.
17Thank-off 'rings I to thee will give,
and on God's name will call.
18I'll pay my vows now to the Lord
before his people all;
19Within the courts of God's own house,
within the midst of thee,
O city of Jerusalem.
Praise to the Lord give ye.

Psalm 116
116
Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death
1I love the Lord, because he hath heard
my voice and my supplications.
2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,
therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3The sorrows of death compassed me,
and the pains of hell#116.3 hell, Hebrew Sheol. gat hold upon me:
I found trouble and sorrow.
4Then called I upon the name of the Lord;
O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;
yea, our God is merciful.
6The Lord preserveth the simple:
I was brought low, and he helped me.
7Return unto thy rest, O my soul;
for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8For thou hast delivered my soul from death,
mine eyes from tears,
and my feet from falling.
9I will walk before the Lord
in the land of the living.
10 #
2 Cor 4.13. I believed, therefore have I spoken:
I was greatly afflicted:
11I said in my haste,
All men are liars.
12What shall I render unto the Lord
for all his benefits toward me?
13I will take the cup of salvation,
and call upon the name of the Lord.
14I will pay my vows unto the Lord
now in the presence of all his people.
15Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his saints.
16O Lord, truly I am thy servant;
I am thy servant,
and the son of thine handmaid:
thou hast loosed my bonds.
17I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and will call upon the name of the Lord.
18I will pay my vows unto the Lord
now in the presence of all his people,
19in the courts of the Lord's house,
in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
Praise ye the Lord.
