Psalm 116

I Love the Lord, who heard my cry,
And to my suits good ear did give:
Which since to me he did apply,
I'l call upon him while I live.
Sorrows of death did me infold,
Trouble and anguish on me came:
The pains of hell on me gat hold,
Then call'd I on Jehovahs Name.
O Lord I pray to thee alone,
From sorrows pit my soul to pull.
The Lord's a gracious righteous one,
Yea, and our God is mercifull.
He saves the simple when opprest,
I was brought low he helped me:
My soul return unto thy rest,
God hath dealt bounteously with thee.
My soul from death thou didst preserve,
Mine eyes from tears, my feet from falls:
I'l walk before thee, thee to serve,
Here where the living on thee calls.
I have beleev'd, therefore I spoke,
Tho scorched in afflictions fire:
I said (for passion did provoke)
Tush, every man is found a lier.

LOrd what requitall shall I make,
For all thy benefits to me:
Salvations cup lo I will take,
And therewithall will call on thee.
My vows to God I'l render there,
Yea, now in all his peoples eies:
The death of all his Saints sincere,
The Lord doth very highly prize.
I am thy servant certainly,
I am a servant of the Lords:
Thy handmaids son O Lord, am I,
And thou hast loost thy servants cords.
I'l give thee thanks for sacrifice,
And on the Lords Name I will call:
I'l pay my vows to God likewise,
In sight of these his people all.
In Sions Courts I'l render them,
In Gods own house in midst of thee,
Of thee ô great Jerusalem,
O therefore praise the Lord with me.
