116:1  I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
116:2  Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
116:3  The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
116:4  Then I called on the name of the LORD: "LORD, save me!"
116:5  The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
116:6  The LORD protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me.
116:7  Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
116:8  For you, LORD, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
116:9  that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
116:10  I trusted in the LORD when I said, "I am greatly afflicted";
116:11  in my alarm I said, "Everyone is a liar."
116:12  What shall I return to the LORD for all his goodness to me?
116:13  I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
116:14  I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
116:15  Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants.
116:16  Truly I am your servant, LORD; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains.
116:17  I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD.
116:18  I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,
116:19  in the courts of the house of the LORD-- in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.
