1.5 KiB
Psalm 116
- I love the LORD because he hears my voice
and my prayer for mercy.
- Because he bends down to listen,
I will pray as long as I have breath!
- Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me.
I saw only trouble and sorrow.
-
Then I called on the name of the LORD: "Please, LORD, save me!"
-
How kind the LORD is! How good he is!
So merciful, this God of ours!
- The LORD protects those of childlike faith;
I was facing death, and he saved me.
-
Let my soul be at rest again, for the LORD has been good to me.
-
He has saved me from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling.
- And so I walk in the LORD's presence
as I live here on earth!
-
I believed in you, so I said, "I am deeply troubled, LORD."
-
In my anxiety I cried out to you,
"These people are all liars!"
- What can I offer the LORD
for all he has done for me?
-
I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the LORD's name for saving me.
-
I will keep my promises to the LORD
in the presence of all his people.
- The LORD cares deeply
when his loved ones die.
- O LORD, I am your servant;
yes, I am your servant, born into your household;
you have freed me from my chains.
-
I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.
-
I will fulfill my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all his people--
- in the house of the LORD
in the heart of Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
