Psalms 116
116
When the LORD saves you from death
1I love you, LORD!
You answered my prayers.
2You paid attention to me,
and so I will pray to you
as long as I live.
3Death attacked from all sides,
and I was captured
by its painful chains.
But when I was really suffering,
4I prayed and said, “LORD,
please don't let me die!”
5You are kind, LORD,
so good and merciful.
6You protect ordinary people,
and when I was helpless,
you saved me
7and treated me so kindly
that I don't need
to worry any more.
8You, LORD, have saved
my life from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling.
9Now I will walk at your side
in this land of the living.
10I was faithful to you#2 Co 4.13.
when I was suffering,
11though in my confusion I said,
“I can't trust anyone!”
12What must I give you, LORD,
for being so good to me?
13I will pour out an offering
of wine to you,
and I will pray in your name
because you
have saved me.
14I will keep my promise to you
when your people meet.
15You are deeply concerned
when one of your loyal people
faces death.
16I worship you, LORD,
just as my mother did,
and you have rescued me
from the chains of death.
17I will offer you a sacrifice
to show how grateful I am,
and I will pray.
18I will keep my promise to you
when your people
19gather at your temple
in Jerusalem.
Shout praises to the LORD!

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 towards 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!
