📖 Psalms 116
-
1
I love the LORD because he heard my plea for mercy,
-
2
and listened to me. As long as I live, I will call to him when I need help.
-
3
The ropes of death tightened around me, the snares of Sheol confronted me. I was confronted with trouble and sorrow.
-
4
I called on the name of the LORD,“Please LORD, rescue my life!”
-
5
The LORD is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate.
-
6
The LORD protects the untrained; I was in serious trouble and he delivered me.
-
7
Rest once more, my soul, for the LORD has vindicated you.
-
8
Yes, LORD, you rescued my life from death, kept my eyes from tears and my feet from stumbling.
-
9
I will serve the LORD in the land of the living.
-
10
I had faith when I said,“I am severely oppressed.”
-
11
I rashly declared,“All men are liars.”
-
12
How can I repay the LORD for all his acts of kindness to me?
-
13
I will celebrate my deliverance, and call on the name of the LORD.
-
14
I will fulfill my vows to the LORD before all his people.
-
15
The LORD values the lives of his faithful followers.
-
16
Yes, LORD! I am indeed your servant; I am your servant, the son of your female servant. You saved me from death.
-
17
I will present a thank offering to you, and call on the name of the LORD.
-
18
I will fulfill my vows to the LORD before all his people,
-
19
in the courts of the LORD’s temple, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
