# ***PSALMS 116-118***

---

*I Love the LORD*

\[1\] I love the LORD, because he has heard

my voice and my pleas for mercy.

\[2\] Because he inclined his ear to me,

therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

\[3\] The snares of death encompassed me;

the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;

I suffered distress and anguish.

\[4\] Then I called on the name of the LORD:

“O LORD, I pray, deliver my soul!”

\[5\] Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;

our God is merciful.

\[6\] The LORD preserves the simple;

when I was brought low, he saved me.

\[7\] Return, O my soul, to your rest;

for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.

\[8\] For you have delivered my soul from death,

my eyes from tears,

my feet from stumbling;

\[9\] I will walk before the LORD

in the land of the living.

\[10\] I believed, even when I spoke:

“I am greatly afflicted”;

\[11\] I said in my alarm,

“All mankind are liars.”

\[12\] What shall I render to the LORD

for all his benefits to me?

\[13\] I will lift up the cup of salvation

and call on 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, the son of your maidservant.

You have loosed my bonds.

\[17\] I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving

and call on 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 house of the LORD,

in your midst, O Jerusalem.

Praise the LORD!

*The LORD’s Faithfulness Endures Forever*

\[1\] Praise the LORD, all nations!

Extol him, all peoples!

\[2\] For great is his steadfast love toward us,

and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever.

Praise the LORD!

*His Steadfast Love Endures Forever*

\[1\] Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;

for his steadfast love endures forever!

\[2\] Let Israel say,

“His steadfast love endures forever.”

\[3\] Let the house of Aaron say,

“His steadfast love endures forever.”

\[4\] Let those who fear the LORD say,

“His steadfast love endures forever.”

\[5\] Out of my distress I called on the LORD;

the LORD answered me and set me free.

\[6\] The LORD is on my side; I will not fear.

What can man do to me?

\[7\] The LORD is on my side as my helper;

I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.

\[8\] It is better to take refuge in the LORD

than to trust in man.

\[9\] It is better to take refuge in the LORD

than to trust in princes.

\[10\] All nations surrounded me;

in the name of the LORD I cut them off!

\[11\] They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;

in the name of the LORD I cut them off!

\[12\] They surrounded me like bees;

they went out like a fire among thorns;

in the name of the LORD I cut them off!

\[13\] I was pushed hard, so that I was falling,

but the LORD helped me.

\[14\] The LORD is my strength and my song;

he has become my salvation.

\[15\] Glad songs of salvation

are in the tents of the righteous:

“The right hand of the LORD does valiantly,

\[16\] the right hand of the LORD exalts,

the right hand of the LORD does valiantly!”

\[17\] I shall not die, but I shall live,

and recount the deeds of the LORD.

\[18\] The LORD has disciplined me severely,

but he has not given me over to death.

\[19\] Open to me the gates of righteousness,

that I may enter through them

and give thanks to the LORD.

\[20\] This is the gate of the LORD;

the righteous shall enter through it.

\[21\] I thank you that you have answered me

and have become my salvation.

\[22\] The stone that the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone.

\[23\] This is the LORD’s doing;

it is marvelous in our eyes.

\[24\] This is the day that the LORD has made;

let us rejoice and be glad in it.

\[25\] Save us, we pray, O LORD!

O LORD, we pray, give us success!

\[26\] Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD!

We bless you from the house of the LORD.

\[27\] The LORD is God,

and he has made his light to shine upon us.

Bind the festal sacrifice with cords,

up to the horns of the altar!

\[28\] You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;

you are my God; I will extol you.

\[29\] Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;

for his steadfast love endures forever! (ESV)
