Psalm 116

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 I love that ADONAI heard my voice when I prayed;

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

3 The cords of death were all around me, Sh'ol's constrictions held me fast; I was finding only distress and anguish.

4 But I called on the name of ADONAI: "Please, ADONAI! Save me!"

5 ADONAI is merciful and righteous; yes, our God is compassionate.

6 ADONAI preserves the thoughtless; when I was brought low, he saved me.

7 My soul, return to your rest! For ADONAI has been generous toward you.

8 Yes, you have rescued me from death, my eyes from tears and my feet from falling.

9 I will go on walking in the presence of ADONAI in the lands of the living.

10 I will keep on trusting even when I say, "I am utterly miserable,"

11 even when, in my panic, I declare, "Everything human is deceptive."

12 How can I repay ADONAI for all his generous dealings with me?

13 I will raise the cup of salvation and call on the name of ADONAI.

14 I will pay my vows to ADONAI in the presence of all his people.

15 From ADONAI's point of view, the death of those faithful to him is costly.

16 Oh, ADONAI! I am your slave; I am your slave, the son of your slave-girl; you have removed my fetters.

17 I will offer a sacrifice of thanks to you and will call on the name of ADONAI.

18 I will pay my vows to ADONAI in the presence of all his people,

19 in the courtyards of ADONAI's house, there in your very heart, Yerushalayim. Halleluyah!

The Message Bible MSG

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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