Psalm 116
or Coverdale
Dilexi, quoniam

¹I love the Lord, because he has heard the voice of
my supplication, *
because he has inclined his ear to me whenever
I called upon him.
²The cords of death entangled me;
the grip of the grave took hold of me; *
I came to grief and sorrow.
³Then I called upon the Name of the Lord: *
"O Lord, I pray you, save my life."
⁴Gracious is the Lord and righteous; *
our God is full of compassion.
⁵The Lord watches over the innocent; *
I was brought very low, and he helped me.
⁶Turn again to your rest, O my soul, *
for the Lord has treated you well.
⁷For you have rescued my life from death, *
my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.
⁸I will walk in the presence of the Lord *
in the land of the living.
⁹I believed, even when I said,
"I have been brought very low." *
In my distress I said, "No one can be trusted."
¹⁰How shall I repay the Lord *
for all the good things he has done for me?
¹¹I will lift up the cup of salvation *
and call upon the Name of the Lord.
¹²I will fulfill my vows to the Lord *
in the presence of all his people.
¹³Precious in the sight of the Lord *
is the death of his servants.
¹⁴O Lord, I am your servant; *
I am your servant and the child of your handmaid;
you have freed me from my bonds.
¹⁵I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving *
and call upon the Name of the Lord.
¹⁶I will fulfill my vows to the Lord *
in the presence of all his people,
¹⁷In the courts of the Lords house, *
in the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!
