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