Psalm 116

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!

King James Version KJV

1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

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

6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine 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 have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

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

12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?

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

14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,

19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
