Psalm 116
Praise God who saved me from death #116:1 This psalm is the fourth of the ‘Hallel’ psalms. This psalm is about one man's trouble. God saved him when he thought that he would die. He wants all the people to know that God has been very kind to him.
1I love the Lord,
because he heard me when I called to him.
2He listened carefully to me.
I will always pray to him,
for as long as I live.
3The danger of death was very near to me.
I was afraid of the deep hole of death.
I was very sad and upset.
4Then I called out to the Lord.
I said, ‘Lord, please save my life!’
5The Lord is kind and fair.
Yes, our God is very kind.
6The Lord takes care of helpless people.
I was in danger of death,
and he saved me!
7So now I know that I am safe again.
The Lord has been very good to me.
8Yes, Lord, you saved me from death!
My eyes no longer weep,
and I do not fall down to the ground.
9Now I will serve the Lord
here in this world where people live.
10I trusted in the Lord
even when I said, ‘I have much pain.’
11I was upset and I said,
‘Everybody tells lies.’
12The Lord has done many kind things to help me.
What can I give back to him?
13I will offer a cup of wine to the Lord,
to thank him because he saved me!
I will worship him.
14I will give to the Lord
everything that I have promised.
I will do that when all his people meet together.
15The Lord is sad when one of his servants dies,
because their lives are valuable to him.
16 Lord, I am truly your servant.
I am like a slave in your house.
You have saved me from death.
17I will offer a sacrifice to you
to say ‘thank you’.
I will worship you as Lord.
18I will give to the Lord
everything that I have promised.
I will do that when all his people meet together,
19in the yard of the Lord's temple.
Yes, I will worship you in your temple in Jerusalem.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
