116:1  I love the LORD because he heard my plea for mercy,
116:2  and listened to me. As long as I live, I will call to him when I need help.
116:3  The ropes of death tightened around me, the snares of Sheol confronted me. I was confronted with trouble and sorrow.
116:4  I called on the name of the LORD, "Please LORD, rescue my life!"
116:5  The LORD is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate.
116:6  The LORD protects the untrained; I was in serious trouble and he delivered me.
116:7  Rest once more, my soul, for the LORD has vindicated you.
116:8  Yes, LORD, you rescued my life from death, and kept my feet from stumbling.
116:9  I will serve the LORD in the land of the living.
116:10  I had faith when I said, "I am severely oppressed."
116:11  I rashly declared, "All men are liars."
116:12  How can I repay the LORD for all his acts of kindness to me?
116:13  I will celebrate my deliverance, and call on the name of the LORD.
116:14  I will fulfill my vows to the LORD before all his people.
116:15  The LORD values the lives of his faithful followers.
116:16  Yes, LORD! I am indeed your servant; I am your lowest slave. You saved me from death.
116:17  I will present a thank offering to you, and call on the name of the LORD.
116:18  I will fulfill my vows to the LORD before all his people,
116:19  in the courts of the LORD's temple, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
