Psalms 115

1 I am well pleased, because the Lord will listen to the voice of my supplication. 2 Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him while I live. 3 The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me: I found affliction and sorrow. 4 Then I called on the name of the Lord: O Lord, deliver my soul. 5 The Lord is merciful and righteous; yes, our God has pity. 6 The Lord preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he delivered me. 7 Return to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. 8 For he has delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. 9 I shall be well-pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living. (115) Alleluia. 10 I believed, therefore I have spoken: but I was greatly afflicted. 11 And I said in my amazement, Every man is a liar. 12 What shall I render to the Lord for all the things wherein he has rewarded me? 13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. 14 I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people. 15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. 16 O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have burst my bonds asunder. 17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of praise, and will call upon the name of the Lord. 18 I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people, 19 in the courts of the Lord’s house, in the midst of you, Jerusalem.
