116:1  I love the Lord for hearing me, for listening to my prayers.
116:2  Yes, he paid attention to me, so I will always call to him whenever I need help.
116:3  Death’s ropes were around me. The grave was closing in on me. I was worried and afraid.
116:4  Then I called on the Lord’s name. I said, “Lord, save me!”
116:5  The Lord is good and merciful; our God is so kind.
116:6  The Lord takes care of helpless people. I was without help, and he saved me.
116:7  My soul, relax! The Lord is caring for you.
116:8  Lord, you saved my soul from death. You stopped my tears. You kept me from falling.
116:9  I will continue to serve the Lord in the land of the living.
116:10  I continued believing even when I said, “I am completely ruined!”
116:11  Yes, even when I was upset and said, “There is no one I can trust!”
116:12  What can I give the Lord for all that he has done for me?
116:13  He saved me, so I will give him a drink offering, and I will call on the Lord’s name.
116:14  I will give the Lord what I promised. I will go in front of all his people now.
116:15  Very dear to the Lord are the lives of his followers. He cares when they face death.
116:16  Lord, I am your servant! Yes, I am your slave, as my mother was. You set me free from the chains of death.
116:17  I will give you a thank offering. I will call on the Lord’s name.
116:18  I will stand before the gathering of his people and give the Lord what I promised.
116:19  I will do this in Jerusalem, in the courtyards of the Lord’s Temple. Praise the Lord!
