Psalm 116
ISV Parallel NET [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionNET Bible
1I love the LORD because he has heard my prayer for mercy; 1I love the LORD because he heard my plea for mercy,
2for he listens to me whenever I call.2and listened to me. As long as I live, I will call to him when I need help.
3The ropes of death were wound around me and the anguish of Sheol came upon me; I encountered distress and sorrow.3The ropes of death tightened around me, the snares of Sheol confronted me. I was confronted with trouble and sorrow.
4Then I called on the name of the LORD, "LORD, please deliver me!" 4I called on the name of the LORD, "Please LORD, rescue my life!"
5The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate;5The LORD is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate.
6the LORD watches over the innocent; I was brought low, and he delivered me.6The LORD protects the untrained; I was in serious trouble and he delivered me.
7Return to your resting place, my soul, for the LORD treated you generously.7Rest once more, my soul, for the LORD has vindicated you.
8Indeed, you delivered my soul from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling.8Yes, LORD, you rescued my life from death, and kept my feet from stumbling.
9I will walk in the LORD's presence in the lands of the living.9I will serve the LORD in the land of the living.
10I will continue to believe, even when I say, "I am greatly afflicted"10I had faith when I said, "I am severely oppressed."
11and speak hastily, "All people are liars!"11I rashly declared, "All men are liars."
12What will I return to the LORD for all his benefits to me?12How can I repay the LORD for all his acts of kindness to me?
13I will raise my cup of deliverance and invoke the LORD's name.13I will celebrate my deliverance, 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 fulfill my vows to the LORD before all his people.
15In the sight of the LORD, the death of his faithful ones is valued.15The LORD values the lives of his faithful followers.
16LORD, I am indeed your servant. I am your servant. I am the son of your handmaid. You have released my bonds.16Yes, LORD! I am indeed your servant; I am your lowest slave. You saved me from death.
17I will bring you a thanksgiving offering and call on the name of the LORD!17I will present a thank offering to you, 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 fulfill my vows to the LORD before all his people,
19in the courts of the LORD's house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Hallelujah!19in the courts of the LORD's temple, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
