EXCERPTS OF PSALM 116


I LOVE THE LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. 

The Lord protects the simplehearted; when I was in great need, he saved me. Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you. For you, O Lord, have delivered my soul from death! my eyes from tears! my feet from stumbling! that I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living. 

How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me?

I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people! 

PRAISE THE LORD. HALLELU YAH.
