this mornings devotions.

This morning James and I read 

Psalm 116:

 I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. 

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore I will call upon him as long as I live. 

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: i found trouble and sorrow.

Then called I upon the name of the lord: O LORD, I beseech thee. deliver my soul. 

Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

The Lord preserveth the simple: I was bought low, and he helped me. 

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee. 

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears and my feet from falling. 

I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.

I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

I said in my haste, all men are liars.

What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me? 

I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. 

I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people. 

precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. 

O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. 

I will offer to thee sacrifices of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people. 

In the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
