PSALM 116 10 10 10 10
1 I love the LORD because he heard my voice;
He listened when I cried to him for aid.
2 I’ll call on him as long as I shall live,
Because he turned to hear me when I prayed.
3 The cords of death gripped and entangled me,
Upon me came the anguish of the grave;
With grief and trouble I was overcome.
4 Then on the name of God I called: “LORD, save!”
5 The LORD our God is kind and full of grace;
Both righteous and compassionate is he.
6 The LORD protects all those of childlike faith;
When I was in great need, he rescued me.
7 Rest, O my soul; God has been good to you—
8 For you, O LORD, have saved my soul from death,
My feet from stumbling and my eyes from tears,
9 That I may live for you while I have breath.
10 I trusted in the LORD, and then I spoke;
I said in anguish: “I am sorely tried”.
11 And in the very depths of my dismay,
“All men are liars—every one!” I cried.
12 How can I thank the LORD for all he’s done?
13 With gratitude salvation’s cup I’ll raise;
14 I’ll call upon his name, and will fulfil
My vows to him before his people’s face.
15 The LORD holds dear the death of all his saints.
16 Hear me, O LORD! I am your servant true;
I am your servant and your handmaid’s son,
And from my chains I have been freed by you.
17 Thank-off’rings I will sacrifice to you
And call upon the name of God the LORD.
18 When all his people in assembly meet,
With joy I will fulfil my solemn word.
Before his people I will keep my vows,
19 Within the courts of our God’s holy place,
Within the city of Jerusalem.
Unto the LORD alone be all the praise!
