From Textus Receptus

Psa 116:1 I haue loued: because God hath hearde my voyce [and] my prayers. Psa 116:2 Because he hath enclined his eare vnto me: therfore I wyll call vpon hym as long as I lyue. Psa 116:3 The snares of death compassed me rounde about: and the paynes of hell toke holde on me. (116:4a) I founde anguishe and heauinesse, Psa 116:4 (116:4b) but I called vpon the name of God: [saying] O God, I beseche thee deliuer my soule Psa 116:5 Gratious is God and ryghteous: our Lorde is mercifull. Psa 116:6 God gardeth the simple: I was brought to the extremitie, and he preserued me. Psa 116:7 Returne O my soule vnto thy rest: for God hath rewarded thee. Psa 116:8 For [thou O Lorde] hast deliuered my soule from death: myne eyes from teares, and my feete from fallyng. Psa 116:9 I wyll walke before the face of God: in the lande of the lyuyng. Psa 116:10 (116:10a) I beleued, therfore I wyll speake: I was sore afflicted, Psa 116:11 (116:10b) insomuch that I said in my rashnesse euery man is a lyer. Psa 116:12 (116:11) What rewarde shal I geue vnto God: for all the benefites that he hath done vnto me? Psa 116:13 (116:12) I wyll take the cuppe of saluation: and I wyll call vpon the name of God. Psa 116:14 (116:13) I wyll pay my vowes nowe vnto God: in the presence of all his people. Psa 116:15 (116:14) The death of his saintes: is precious in the eyes of God. Psa 116:16 (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. Psa 116:17 (116:16) I wyll offer vnto thee the sacrifice of thankesgeuyng: and I wyll call vpon the name of God. Psa 116:18 (116:17a) I wyll pay my vowes vnto God in the sight of all his people: Psa 116:19 (116:17b) in the courtes of Gods house, euen in the myddest of thee O Hierusalem. Prayse ye the Lorde.
