Psalms 116

1 I love God because he listened to me, listened as I begged for mercy.

1 I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.

2 He listened so intently as I laid out my case before him.

2 Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.

3 Death stared me in the face, hell was hard on my heels. Up against it, I didn't know which way to turn;

3 The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow.

4 then I called out to God for help: "Please, God!" I cried out. "Save my life!"

4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: “LORD, save me!”

5 God is gracious - it is he who makes things right, our most compassionate God.

5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.

6 God takes the side of the helpless; when I was at the end of my rope, he saved me.

6 The LORD protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me.

7 I said to myself, "Relax and rest. God has showered you with blessings.

7 Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.

8 Soul, you've been rescued from death; Eye, you've been rescued from tears; And you, Foot, were kept from stumbling."

8 For you, LORD, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,

9 I'm striding in the presence of God, alive in the land of the living!

9 that I may walk before the LORDin the land of the living.

10 I stayed faithful, though bedeviled, and despite a ton of bad luck,

10 I trusted in the LORD when I said, “I am greatly afflicted”;

11 Despite giving up on the human race, saying, "They're all liars and cheats."

11 in my alarm I said, “Everyone is a liar.”

12 What can I give back to God for the blessings he's poured out on me?

12 What shall I return to the LORDfor all his goodness to me?

13 I'll lift high the cup of salvation - a toast to God! I'll pray in the name of God;

13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.

14 I'll complete what I promised God I'd do, and I'll do it together with his people.

14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORDin the presence of all his people.

15 When they arrive at the gates of death, God welcomes those who love him.

15 Precious in the sight of the LORDis the death of his faithful servants.

16 Oh, God, here I am, your servant, your faithful servant: set me free for your service!

16 Truly I am your servant, LORD; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains.

17 I'm ready to offer the thanksgiving sacrifice and pray in the name of God.

17 I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD.

18 I'll complete what I promised God I'd do, and I'll do it in company with his people,

18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORDin the presence of all his people,

19 In the place of worship, in God's house, in Jerusalem, God's city. Hallelujah!

19 in the courts of the house of the LORD— in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.
