Psalm 116
NET Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleNew Living Translation
1I love the LORD because he heard my plea for mercy, 1I love the LORD because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy.
2and listened to me. As long as I live, I will call to him when I need help. 2Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!
3The ropes of death tightened around me, the snares of Sheol confronted me. I was confronted with trouble and sorrow. 3Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow.
4I called on the name of the LORD, "Please LORD, rescue my life!" 4Then I called on the name of the LORD: “Please, LORD, save me!”
5The LORD is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate. 5How kind the LORD is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours!
6The LORD protects the untrained; I was in serious trouble and he delivered me. 6The LORD protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and he saved me.
7Rest once more, my soul, for the LORD has vindicated you. 7Let my soul be at rest again, for the LORD has been good to me.
8Yes, LORD, you rescued my life from death, and kept my feet from stumbling. 8He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9I will serve the LORD in the land of the living. 9And so I walk in the LORD’s presence as I live here on earth!
10I had faith when I said, "I am severely oppressed." 10I believed in you, so I said, “I am deeply troubled, LORD.”
11I rashly declared, "All men are liars." 11In my anxiety I cried out to you, “These people are all liars!”
12How can I repay the LORD for all his acts of kindness to me? 12What can I offer the LORD for all he has done for me?
13I will celebrate my deliverance, and call on the name of the LORD. 13I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the LORD’s name for saving me.
14I will fulfill my vows to the LORD before all his people. 14I will keep my promises to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
15The LORD values the lives of his faithful followers. 15The LORD cares deeply when his loved ones die.
16Yes, LORD! I am indeed your servant; I am your lowest slave. You saved me from death. 16O LORD, I am your servant; yes, I am your servant, born into your household; you have freed me from my chains.
17I will present a thank offering to you, and call on the name of the LORD. 17I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.
18I will fulfill my vows to the LORD before 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 temple, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD! 19in the house of the LORD in the heart of Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
