Psalm 116
ISV Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionEnglish Standard Version
1I love the LORD because he has heard my prayer for mercy; 1I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy.
2for he listens to me whenever I call.2Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
3The ropes of death were wound around me and the anguish of Sheol came upon me; I encountered distress and sorrow.3The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish.
4Then I called on the name of the LORD, "LORD, please deliver me!" 4Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, I pray, deliver my soul!”
5The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate;5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; our God is merciful.
6the LORD watches over the innocent; I was brought low, and he delivered me.6The LORD preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me.
7Return to your resting place, my soul, for the LORD treated you generously.7Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
8Indeed, you delivered my soul from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling.8For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling;
9I will walk in the LORD's presence in the lands of the living.9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10I will continue to believe, even when I say, "I am greatly afflicted"10I believed, even when I spoke: “I am greatly afflicted”;
11and speak hastily, "All people are liars!"11I said in my alarm, “All mankind are liars.”
12What will I return to the LORD for all his benefits to me?12What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits to me?
13I will raise my cup of deliverance and invoke the LORD's name.13I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD,
14I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.14I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
15In the sight of the LORD, the death of his faithful ones is valued.15Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
16LORD, I am indeed your servant. I am your servant. I am the son of your handmaid. You have released my bonds.16O LORD, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds.
17I will bring you a thanksgiving offering and call on the name of the LORD!17I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.
18I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,18I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,
19in the courts of the LORD's house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Hallelujah!19in the courts of the house of the LORD, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
