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.

Psalms 116
116
Lift Up the Cup of Salvation
1I love Adonai, for He hears my voice, my cries.
2Because He has turned His ear to me, I will call on Him all my days.
3The ropes of death entangled me, and the torments of Sheol found me. I found trouble and sorrow.
4Then I called upon the Name of Adonai: “Adonai, save my soul!”
5Adonai is gracious and righteous— yes, our God is compassionate.
6Adonai protects the simple-hearted. When I was brought low, He saved me.
7Return to your rest, my soul, for Adonai has been good to you.
8For You delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9I will walk before Adonai in the lands of the living.
10I trusted even when I said, “I am very afflicted”—
11even when I said in my haste, “All men are liars.”
12How can I repay Adonai for all His bounties to me?
13I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call on the Name of Adonai.
14I will fulfill my vows to Adonai in the presence of all His people.
15Precious in the sight of Adonai is the death of His kedoshim.
16O Adonai! Surely I am Your servant. I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant. You have freed me from my bonds.
17To You I will offer a sacrifice of praise, and will call on the Name of Adonai.
18I will fulfill my vows to Adonai in the presence of all His people,
19in the courts of the House of Adonai, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Halleluyah!
