I Love the LORD
Psalm 116:1-19 ESV
[1] I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. [2] Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live. [3] The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish. [4] Then I called on the name of the Lord: “O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!” [5] Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; our God is merciful. [6] The Lord preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me. [7] Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. [8] For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling; [9] I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. [10] I believed, even when I spoke: “I am greatly afflicted”; [11] I said in my alarm, “All mankind are liars.” [12] What shall I render to the Lord for all his benefits to me? [13] I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord, [14] I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people. [15] Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. [16] O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds. [17] I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord. [18] I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people, [19] in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
