Psalm 116

¹I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
²Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
³The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
⁴Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
⁵Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
⁶The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
⁷Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
⁸For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
⁹I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
¹⁰I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
¹¹I said in my haste, All men are liars.
¹²What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?
¹³I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
¹⁴I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.
¹⁵Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
¹⁶O Lord, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
¹⁷I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
¹⁸I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.
¹⁹In the courts of the Lord’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.

²¹Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
²²Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
²³Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
²⁴That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
²⁵For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
²⁶And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
²⁷Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

⁴⁴Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
⁴⁵And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
⁴⁶I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
⁴⁷And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
⁴⁸He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
⁴⁹For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
⁵⁰And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
