Psalms 116
116
1 I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice,
and my cries for mercy.
2 Because he has turned his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
3 The cords of death surrounded me,
the pains of Sheol#116:3 Sheol is the place of the dead. got a hold of me.
I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the LORD’s name:
“LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul.”
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous.
Yes, our God is merciful.
6 The LORD preserves the simple.
I was brought low, and he saved me.
7 Return to your rest, my soul,
for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
8 For you have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
and my feet from falling.
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 I believed, therefore I said,
“I was greatly afflicted.”
11 I said in my haste,
“All people are liars.”
12 What will I give to the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the LORD’s name.
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD,
yes, in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the LORD’s sight is the death of his holy ones.
16 LORD, truly I am your servant.
I am your servant, the son of your servant girl.
You have freed me from my chains.
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and will call on the LORD’s name.
18 I will pay my vows to the LORD,
yes, in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courts of the LORD’s house,
in the middle of you, Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD!

Psalm 116
1I love the Lord because he hears my voice, my pleas for mercy.
2I will call on him as long as I live
because he turns his ear toward me.
3The ropes of death became tangled around me.
The horrors of the grave took hold of me.
I experienced pain and agony.
4But I kept calling on the name of the Lord:
“Please, Lord, rescue me!”
5The Lord is merciful and righteous.
Our God is compassionate.
6The Lord protects defenseless people.
When I was weak, he saved me.
7Be at peace again, my soul,
because the Lord has been good to you.
8You saved me from death.
You saved my eyes from tears ⌞and⌟ my feet from stumbling.
9I will walk in the Lord’s presence in this world of the living.
10I kept my faith even when I said,
“I am suffering terribly.”
11I also said when I was panic-stricken,
“Everyone is undependable.”
12How can I repay the Lord
for all the good that he has done for me?
13I will take the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the Lord.
14I will keep my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people.
15Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his faithful ones.
16O Lord, I am indeed your servant.
I am your servant,
the son of your female servant.
You have freed me from my chains.
17I will bring a song of thanksgiving to you as a sacrifice.
I will call on the name of the Lord.
18I will keep my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people,
19in the courtyards of the Lord’s house,
in the middle of Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!
