Psalm 116:4

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

Upon the name of God the Lord then did I call, and say, Deliver thou my soul, O Lord, I do thee humbly pray.

See the chapter Copy

I in distress call'd on the Lord; the Lord did answer me: He in a large place did me set, from trouble made me free.

From sword my soul, from pow'r of dogs my darling set thou free.

And call upon me when in trouble thou shalt be; I will deliver thee, and thou my name shalt glorify.

This poor man cry'd, God heard, and sav'd him from all his distresses.

My heart's griefs are increas'd: me from distress relieve.

In my distress I call'd on God, cry to my God did I; He from his temple heard my voice, to his ears came my cry.

Return, O Lord, my soul set free; O save me, for thy mercies' sake.

Because those that deceased are Of thee shall no remembrance have; And who is he that will to thee Give praises lying in the grave?
