Psalm 116
KJV Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
King James BibleNew International Version
1I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.1I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.2Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
3The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.3The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
4Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.4Then I called on the name of the LORD: "LORD, save me!"
5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.5The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
6The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.6The LORD protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me.
7Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.7Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
8For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.8For you, LORD, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.9that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:10I trusted in the LORD when I said, "I am greatly afflicted";
11I said in my haste, All men are liars.11in my alarm I said, "Everyone is a liar."
12What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?12What shall I return to the LORD for all his goodness to me?
13I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.13I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
14I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.14I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
15Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.15Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants.
16O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.16Truly I am your servant, LORD; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains.
17I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.17I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD.
18I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,18I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,
19In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.19in the courts of the house of the LORD-- in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.
