Psalms - Chapter 116 | New International Version

  • 1. I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
  • 2. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
  • 3. The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me; I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.
  • 4. Then I called on the name of the LORD: "O LORD, save me!"
  • 5. The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
  • 6. The LORD protects the simplehearted; when I was in great need, he saved me.
  • 7. Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
  • 8. For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
  • 9. that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
  • 10. I believed; therefore I said, "I am greatly afflicted."
  • 11. And in my dismay I said, "All men are liars."
  • 12. How can I repay the LORD for all his goodness to me?
  • 13. I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
  • 14. I will fulfill 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 saints.
  • 16. O LORD, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant; you have freed me from my chains.
  • 17. I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD.
  • 18. I will fulfill 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.
