Psalm 116

Psalm 1163 matched frames

Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 1-2 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
- B 3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
  - C 4-6 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
- B' 7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
  - C' 8-9 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
- B'' 10-11 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted. I said in my haste, All men are liars.
A' 12-19 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people, In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
