Thanks to God for Deliverance
1I love the Lord because He has heard
my appeal for mercy. # Ps 18:1; 66:19
2Because He has turned His ear to me,
I will call out to Him as long as I live. # Ps 17:6; 40:1
3The ropes of death were wrapped around me,
and the torments of Sheol overcame me;
I encountered trouble and sorrow. # Ps 18:4-5
4Then I called on the name of Yahweh:
“Yahweh, save me! ” # Ps 18:6; 118:5
5The Lord is gracious and righteous;
our God is compassionate. # Ex 34:6; Neh 9:17; Ps 112:4
6The Lord guards the inexperienced;
I was helpless, and He saved me. # Ps 19:7; 79:8; 142:6
7Return to your rest, my soul,
for the Lord has been good to you. # Ps 13:6; Jr 6:16
8For You, Lord, rescued me from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling. # Ps 49:15; 56:13
9I will walk before the Lord
in the land of the living. # Ps 27:13
10I believed, even when I said,
“I am severely afflicted.” # 2Co 4:13
11In my alarm I said,
“Everyone is a liar.” # Ps 31:22; 62:9; Rm 3:4
12How can I repay the Lord
for all the good He has done for me? # 2Ch 32:25; 1Th 3:9
13I will take the cup of salvation
and call on the name of Yahweh. # Ps 16:5; 105:1
14I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all His people. # Ps 22:25; 50:14
15The death of His faithful ones
is valuable in the Lord’s sight. # Ps 72:14
16Lord, I am indeed Your servant;
I am Your servant, the son of Your female servant.
You have loosened my bonds. # Jb 12:18; Ps 86:16; 107:14
17I will offer You a sacrifice of thanksgiving
and call on the name of Yahweh. # Lv 7:12; Ps 50:14
18I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all His people, # Ps 22:25; 50:14
19in the courts of the Lord’s house —
within you, Jerusalem. # Ps 96:8; 102:21
Hallelujah!

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!
