Psalms 116:3-19 ▼

3 The snares of death compassed me rounde about: and the paynes of hell toke holde on me. (116:4) I founde anguishe and heauinesse,

4 but I called vpon the name of God: saying O God, I beseche thee deliuer my soule

5 Gratious is God and ryghteous: our Lorde is mercifull.

6 God gardeth the simple: I was brought to the extremitie, and he preserued me.

7 Returne O my soule vnto thy rest: for God hath rewarded thee.

8 For thou O Lorde hast deliuered my soule from death: myne eyes from teares, and my feete from fallyng.

9 I wyll walke before the face of God: in the lande of the lyuyng.

10 I beleued, therfore I wyll speake: I was sore afflicted,

11 (116:10) insomuch that I said in my rashnesse euery man is a lyer.

12 (116:11) What rewarde shal I geue vnto God: for all the benefites that he hath done vnto me?

13 (116:12) I wyll take the cuppe of saluation: and I wyll call vpon the name of God.

14 (116:13) I wyll pay my vowes nowe vnto God: in the presence of all his people.

15 (116:14) The death of his saintes: is precious in the eyes of God.

16 (116:15) It is euen so O God, for I am thy seruaunt and the sonne of thy handemayde: thou hast loosed my bondes in sunder.

17 (116:16) I wyll offer vnto thee the sacrifice of thankesgeuyng: and I wyll call vpon the name of God.

18 (116:17) I wyll pay my vowes vnto God in the sight of all his people:

19 (116:17) in the courtes of Gods house, euen in the myddest of thee O Hierusalem. Prayse ye the Lorde.
