Psalms 116
116
1I love Jehovah, because he heareth
My voice and my supplications.
2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,
Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3The cords of death compassed me,
And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me:
I found trouble and sorrow.
4Then called I upon the name of Jehovah:
O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous;
Yea, our God is merciful.
6Jehovah preserveth the simple:
I was brought low, and he saved me.
7Return unto thy rest, O my soul;
For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8For thou hast delivered my soul from death,
Mine eyes from tears,
And my feet from falling.
9I will walk before Jehovah
In the land of the living.
10I believe, for I will speak:
I was greatly afflicted:
11I said in my haste,
All men are liars.
12What shall I render unto Jehovah
For all his benefits toward me?
13I will take the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of Jehovah.
14I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,
Yea, in the presence of all his people.
15Precious in the sight of Jehovah
Is the death of his saints.
16O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant:
I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid;
Thou hast loosed my bonds.
17I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call upon the name of Jehovah.
18I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,
Yea, in the presence of all his people,
19In the courts of Jehovah’s house,
In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
Praise ye Jehovah.

Psalms 116
116
Someone Saved from Death Praises God
1I love the LORD, because he hears me;
he listens to my prayers.
2He listens to me
every time I call to him.
3The danger of death was all round me;
the horrors of the grave closed in on me;
I was filled with fear and anxiety.
4Then I called to the LORD,
“I beg you, LORD, save me!”
5The LORD is merciful and good;
our God is compassionate.
6The LORD protects the helpless;
when I was in danger, he saved me.
7Be confident, my heart,
because the LORD has been good to me.
8The LORD saved me from death;
he stopped my tears
and kept me from defeat.
9And so I walk in the presence of the LORD
in the world of the living.
10 #
2 Cor 4.13
I kept on believing, even when I said,
“I am completely crushed,”
11even when I was afraid and said,
“No one can be trusted.”
12What can I offer the LORD
for all his goodness to me?
13I will bring a wine offering to the LORD,
to thank him for saving me.
14In the assembly of all his people
I will give him what I have promised.
15How painful it is to the LORD
when one of his people dies!
16I am your servant, LORD;
I serve you, just as my mother did.
You have saved me from death.
17I will give you a sacrifice of thanksgiving
and offer my prayer to you.
18-19In the assembly of all your people,
in the sanctuary of your Temple in Jerusalem,
I will give you what I have promised.
Praise the LORD!
