Psalm 116

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice, And my cries for mercy.

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

3 The cords of death surrounded me, The pains of She'ol got a hold on me. I found trouble and sorrow.

4 Then called I on the name of the LORD: "The LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul."

5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful.

6 The LORD preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.

7 Return to your rest, my soul, For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.

8 For you have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.

9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

10 I believed, therefore I said, "I was greatly afflicted."

11 I said in my haste, "All men are liars."

12 What will I give to the LORD for all his benefits toward me?

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the LORD.

14 I will pay my vows to the LORD, Yes, in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his holy ones.

16 LORD, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains.

17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call on the name of the LORD.

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

19 In the courts of the LORD's house, In the midst of you, Yerushalayim. Praise the LORD!

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!
