Psalm 116
NLT Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New Living TranslationEnglish Standard Version
1I love the LORD because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy.1I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy.
2Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!2Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
3Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me. I saw only trouble 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: “Please, LORD, save me!”4Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, I pray, deliver my soul!”
5How kind the LORD is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours!5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; our God is merciful.
6The LORD protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and he saved me.6The LORD preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me.
7Let my soul be at rest again, for the LORD has been good to me.7Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
8He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.8For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling;
9And so I walk in the LORD’s presence as I live here on earth!9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10I believed in you, so I said, “I am deeply troubled, LORD.”10I believed, even when I spoke: “I am greatly afflicted”;
11In my anxiety I cried out to you, “These people are all liars!”11I said in my alarm, “All mankind are liars.”
12What can I offer the LORD for all he has done for me?12What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits to me?
13I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the LORD’s name for saving me.13I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD,
14I will keep my promises 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.
15The LORD cares deeply when his loved ones die.15Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
16O LORD, I am your servant; yes, I am your servant, born into your household; you have freed me from my chains.16O LORD, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds.
17I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving 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 house of the LORD in the heart of Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!19in the courts of the house of the LORD, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
