Psalm 116

New Revised Standard NRS

1 I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my supplications.

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

3 The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish.

4 Then I called on the name of the Lord: "O Lord, I pray, save my life!"

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

6 The Lord protects the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me.

7 Return, O my soul, to your rest, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

8 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

9 I walk before the Lord in the land of the living.

10 I kept my faith, even when I said, "I am greatly afflicted";

11 I said in my consternation, "Everyone is a liar."

12 What shall I return to the Lord for all his bounty to me?

13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord,

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

15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful ones.

16 O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, the child of your serving girl. You have loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer to you a thanksgiving sacrifice and call on the name of the Lord.

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

19 in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem. 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!
