116:1  I love the Lord because he hears my prayers and answers them.
116:2  Because he bends down and listens, I will pray as long as I breathe!
116:3  Death stared me in the face—I was frightened and sad.
116:4  Then I cried, “Lord, save me!”
116:5  How kind he is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours!
116:6  The Lord protects the simple and the childlike; I was facing death, and then he saved me.
116:7  Now I can relax. For the Lord has done this wonderful miracle for me.
116:8  He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
116:9  I shall live! Yes, in his presence—here on earth!
116:10  In my discouragement I thought, “They are lying when they say I will recover.”
116:11  In my discouragement I thought, “They are lying when they say I will recover.”
116:12  But now what can I offer Jehovah for all he has done for me?
116:13  I will bring him an offering of wine and praise his name for saving me.
116:14  I will publicly bring him the sacrifice I vowed I would.
116:15  His loved ones are very precious to him, and he does not lightly let them die.
116:16  O Lord, you have freed me from my bonds, and I will serve you forever.
116:17  I will worship you and offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving.
116:18  Here in the courts of the Temple in Jerusalem, before all the people, I will pay everything I vowed to the Lord. Praise the Lord.
116:19  Here in the courts of the Temple in Jerusalem, before all the people, I will pay everything I vowed to the Lord. Praise the Lord.
