Psalm 116
KJV Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
King James BibleNew Living Translation
1I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.1I love the LORD because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy.
2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.2Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!
3The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.3Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me. I saw only trouble 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: “Please, LORD, save me!”
5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.5How kind the LORD is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours!
6The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.6The LORD protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and he saved me.
7Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.7Let my soul be at rest again, for the LORD has been good to me.
8For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.8He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.9And so I walk in the LORD’s presence as I live here on earth!
10I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:10I believed in you, so I said, “I am deeply troubled, LORD.”
11I said in my haste, All men are liars.11In my anxiety I cried out to you, “These people are all liars!”
12What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?12What can I offer the LORD for all he has done for 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 praise the LORD’s name for saving me.
14I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.14I will keep my promises to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
15Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.15The LORD cares deeply when his loved ones die.
16O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.16O LORD, I am your servant; yes, I am your servant, born into your household; 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 offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving 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 house of the LORD in the heart of Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
