Psalms 115
1I am well pleased, because the Lord will listen to the voice of my supplication. 1
2Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him while I live. 1
3The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me: I found affliction and sorrow. 1
4Then I called on the name of the Lord: O Lord, deliver my soul. 1
5The Lord is merciful and righteous; yes, our God has pity. 1
6The Lord preserves + 115:6 Gr. infants. the simple: I was brought low, and he delivered me. 1
7Return to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. 1
8For he has delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. 1
9I shall be well-pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living. (115) Alleluia. 1
10+ 115:10 In Brenton's text, Psalm 115 commences here, but verse numbers continue from v10 to v19. + 115:10 2 Cor 4:13 I believed, therefore I have spoken: but I was greatly afflicted. 1
11And I said in my amazement, Every man is a liar. 1
12What shall I render to the Lord for all the things wherein he has rewarded me? 1
13I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. 1
14I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people. 1
15Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. 1
16O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have burst my bonds asunder. 1
17I will offer to you the sacrifice of praise, and will call upon the name of the Lord. 1
18I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people, 1
19in the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of you, Jerusalem.
