# Chapter 116
|
||
1 I love the Lord because he has heard
|
||
my appeal for mercy.
|
||
2 Because he has turned his ear to me,
|
||
I will call out to him as long as I live.
|
||
3 The ropes of death were wrapped around me,
|
||
and the torments of Sheol overcame me;
|
||
I encountered trouble and sorrow.
|
||
4 Then I called on the name of the Lord:
|
||
“Lord, save me!”
|
||
5 The Lord is gracious and righteous;
|
||
our God is compassionate.
|
||
6 The Lord guards the inexperienced;
|
||
I was helpless, and he saved me.
|
||
7 Return to your rest, my soul,
|
||
for the Lord has been good to you.
|
||
8 For you, Lord, rescued me from death,
|
||
my eyes from tears,
|
||
my feet from stumbling.
|
||
9 I will walk before the Lord
|
||
in the land of the living.
|
||
10 I believed, even when I said,
|
||
“I am severely oppressed.”
|
||
11 In my alarm I said,
|
||
“Everyone is a liar.”
|
||
12 How can I repay the Lord
|
||
for all the good he has done for me?
|
||
13 I will take the cup of salvation
|
||
and call on the name of the Lord.
|
||
14 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
|
||
in the presence of all his people.
|
||
15 The death of his faithful ones
|
||
is valuable in the Lord’s sight.
|
||
16 Lord, I am indeed your servant;
|
||
I am your servant, the son of your female servant.
|
||
You have loosened my bonds.
|
||
17 I will offer you a thanksgiving sacrifice
|
||
and call on the name of the Lord.
|
||
18 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
|
||
in the presence of all his people,
|
||
19 in the courts of the Lord’s house—
|
||
within you, Jerusalem.
|
||
Hallelujah! |
