Psalm 116

Dilexi, quoniam
1
I am well pleased  *
that the Lord hath heard the voice of my prayer;
2
That he hath inclined his ear unto me *
therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3
The snares of death compassed me round about *
and the pains of hell gat hold upon me.
10
I believed, and therefore will I speak; but I was sore troubled *
I said in my haste, All men are liars.
11
What reward shall I give unto the Lord *
for all the benefits that he hath done unto me?
12
I will receive the cup of salvation *
and call upon the Name of the Lord.
13
I will pay my vows now in the presence of all his people *
right dear in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
14
Behold, O Lord, how that I am thy servant *
I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid; thou hast broken my bonds in sunder.
15
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving *
and will call upon the Name of the Lord.
16
I will pay my vows unto the Lord, in the sight of all his people *
in the courts of the Lord’s house, even in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord.
