| [1]I LOVE the LORD, because he will hear the voice of my supplication. |
[1]I haue loued: because God hath hearde my voyce [and] my prayers |
| [2]He will incline his ear to me in the day when I call upon him. |
[2]Because he hath enclined his eare vnto me: therfore I wyll call vpon hym as long as I lyue |
| [3]The pangs of death have encompassed me, and the pains of Sheol have found me; I found trouble and sorrow. |
[3]The snares of death compassed me rounde about: and the paynes of hell toke holde on me. (116:4a) I founde anguishe and heauinesse |
| [4]Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, deliver my soul. |
[4](116:4b) but I called vpon the name of God: [saying] O God, I beseche thee deliuer my soul |
| [5]Thou art merciful, O LORD, and righteous; O God, thou art merciful. |
[5]Gratious is God and ryghteous: our Lorde is mercifull |
| [6]The LORD preserves the little ones; he humbled me and saved me. |
[6]God gardeth the simple: I was brought to the extremitie, and he preserued me |
| [7]Return to your rest, O my soul; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. |
[7]Returne O my soule vnto thy rest: for God hath rewarded thee |
| [8]For he has delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling. |
[8]For [thou O Lorde] hast deliuered my soule from death: myne eyes from teares, and my feete from fallyng |
| [9]I will be acceptable to thee, O LORD, in the land of the living. |
[9]I wyll walke before the face of God: in the lande of the lyuyng |
| [10]I believed, therefore have I spoken; I have been humbled exceedingly: |
[10](116:10a) I beleued, therfore I wyll speake: I was sore afflicted |
| [11]I said in my stupidity, All men are liars. |
[11](116:10b) insomuch that I said in my rashnesse euery man is a lyer |
| [12]What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits toward me? |
[12](116:11) What rewarde shal I geue vnto God: for all the benefites that he hath done vnto me |
| [13]I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the LORD. |
[13](116:12) I wyll take the cuppe of saluation: and I wyll call vpon the name of God |
| [14]I will pay my vows to the LORD now in the presence of all the people. |
[14](116:13) I wyll pay my vowes nowe vnto God: in the presence of all his people |
| [15]Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. |
[15](116:14) The death of his saintes: is precious in the eyes of God |
| [16]O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid; thou hast loosed my bonds. |
[16](116:15) It is euen so O God, for I am thy seruaunt and the sonne of thy handemayde: thou hast loosed my bondes in sunder |
| [17]I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving and will call upon the name of the LORD. |
[17](116:16) I wyll offer vnto thee the sacrifice of thankesgeuyng: and I wyll call vpon the name of God |
| [18]I will pay my vows to the LORD now in the presence of all the people, |
[18](116:17a) I wyll pay my vowes vnto God in the sight of all his people |
| [19]In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD. |
[19](116:17b) in the courtes of Gods house, euen in the myddest of thee O Hierusalem. Prayse ye the Lorde |
