116:1 I love the Lord because he listens to my prayers for help.
116:2 He paid attention to me. So I will call to him for help as long as I live.
116:3 The ropes of death bound me. The fear of death took hold of me. I was troubled and sad.
116:4 Then I called out the name of the Lord. I said, “Please, Lord, save me!”
116:5 The Lord is kind and does what is right. Our God is merciful.
116:6 The Lord watches over the foolish. When I was helpless, he saved me.
116:7 I said to myself, “Relax, because the Lord takes care of you.”
116:8 Lord, you have saved me from death. You have stopped my eyes from crying. You have kept me from being defeated.
116:9 So I will walk with the Lord in the land of the living.
116:10 I believed, so I said, “I am completely ruined.”
116:11 In my distress I said, “All people are liars.”
116:12 What can I give the Lord for all the good things he has given to me?
116:13 I will give him a drink offering for saving me. And I will pray to the Lord.
116:14 In front of all his people, I will give the Lord what I promised.
116:15 The death of one that belongs to him is precious to the Lord.
116:16 Lord, I am your servant. I am your servant and the son of your female servant. You have freed me from my chains.
116:17 I will give an offering to show thanks to you. And I will worship the Lord.
116:18 In front of all his people, I will give the Lord what I promised.
116:19 I will do this in the Temple courtyards in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
