Psalms116

I Love the Lord
1I 116:1 Ps. 18:1love the Lord, because he has 116:1 Ps. 66:19; 118:21heard
my voice and my pleas for mercy.
2Because he 116:2 [Ps. 31:2]inclined his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
3116:3 See Ps. 18:4The snares of death encompassed me;
the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
I suffered distress and anguish.
4Then 116:4 Ps. 118:5; See Ps. 18:6I called on the name of the Lord:
“O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!”

5116:5 See Ps. 86:15Gracious is the Lord, and 116:5 Ps. 7:9; 119:137; 145:17; Ezra 9:15; Neh. 9:8; Jer. 12:1; Dan. 9:7righteous;
our God is 116:5 See Ps. 62:12merciful.
6The Lord preserves 116:6 See Ps. 19:7the simple;
when 116:6 Ps. 79:8; 142:6I was brought low, he saved me.
7Return, O my soul, to your 116:7 Jer. 6:16; [Matt. 11:28] rest;
for the Lord has 116:7 See Ps. 13:6dealt bountifully with you.

8For 116:8 Ps. 49:15; 56:13; [Ps. 86:13]you have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling;
9I will walk before the Lord
116:9 See Ps. 27:13in the land of the living.

10116:10 Cited 2 Cor. 4:13I believed, 116:10 [Ps. 39:3]even when116:10 Or believed, indeed; Septuagint believed, therefore I spoke:
“I am greatly afflicted”;
11116:11 Ps. 31:22I said in my alarm,
116:11 [Ps. 62:9]“All mankind are liars.”

12What shall I 116:12 2 Chr. 32:25render to the Lord
for all his benefits to me?
13I will lift up 116:13 [Ps. 16:5] the cup of salvation
and 116:13 See Ps. 99:6; 105:1call on the name of the Lord,
14I will 116:14 See Ps. 50:14pay my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people.

15116:15 See Ps. 72:14Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his 116:15 See Ps. 50:5saints.
16O Lord, I am your 116:16 Ps. 119:125; 143:12; [Ps. 113:1] servant;
I am your servant, 116:16 Ps. 86:16the son of your maidservant.
You have 116:16 [Job 12:18]loosed my bonds.
17I will 116:17 See Ps. 50:14offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving
and 116:17 [See ver. 13above]call on the name of the Lord.
18I will 116:18 [See ver. 14above]pay my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people,
19in 116:19 See Ps. 92:13the courts of the house of the Lord,
in your midst, O Jerusalem.
116:19 See Ps. 104:35Praise the Lord!
