The King James Version Bible

Psalms 116:1-7

  1. I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

  2. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

  3. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

  4. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

  5. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

  6. The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

  7. Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
