←Prev   Psalms 116 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


116:1  I love the Lord, because he hears my voice. He hears my cry for mercy.
116:2  Because he turned his ear to me, I will call to him all my days.
116:3  The ropes of death entangled me. The walls of the grave hemmed me in. I found distress and sorrow.
116:4  Then I called on the name of the Lord: “Ah, Lord, please save my life!”
116:5  The Lord is gracious and righteous, and our God is compassionate.
116:6  The Lord protects the inexperienced. In my weakness he saves me too.
116:7  Return, my soul, to your rest, for the Lord has accomplished his purpose for you.
116:8  Indeed, you have delivered my soul from death, my eye from weeping, my foot from stumbling,
116:9  so that I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
116:10  I believed. Therefore, I have spoken: “I am greatly afflicted.”
116:11  In my haste I said: “All people are deceptive.”
116:12  How can I repay the Lord for all his benefits to me?
116:13  I will lift up the cup of salvation, and I will call on the name of the Lord.
116:14  I will fulfill my vows to the Lord, now in the presence of all his people.
116:15  Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his favored ones.
116:16  Ah, Lord, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your maidservant. You opened my chains.
116:17  To you I will sacrifice a thank offering, and I will call on the name of the Lord.
116:18  I will fulfill my vows to the Lord here in the presence of all his people,
116:19  in the courtyards of the house of the Lord, in the middle of Jerusalem. Praise the Lord.
