←Prev   Psalms 116 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


116:1  I love the LORD because he has heard my prayer for mercy;
116:2  for he listens to me whenever I call.
116:3  The ropes of death were wound around me and the anguish of Sheol came upon me; I encountered distress and sorrow.
116:4  Then I called on the name of the LORD, "LORD, please deliver me!"
116:5  The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate;
116:6  the LORD watches over the innocent; I was brought low, and he delivered me.
116:7  Return to your resting place, my soul, for the LORD treated you generously.
116:8  Indeed, you delivered my soul from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling.
116:9  I will walk in the LORD's presence in the lands of the living.
116:10  I will continue to believe, even when I say, "I am greatly afflicted"
116:11  and speak hastily, "All people are liars!"
116:12  What will I return to the LORD for all his benefits to me?
116:13  I will raise my cup of deliverance and invoke the LORD's name.
116:14  I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
116:15  In the sight of the LORD, the death of his faithful ones is valued.
116:16  LORD, I am indeed your servant. I am your servant. I am the son of your handmaid. You have released my bonds.
116:17  I will bring you a thanksgiving offering and call on the name of the LORD!
116:18  I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,
116:19  in the courts of the LORD's house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
