Psalms 116
116
I’m Saved
1I am passionately in love with God because he listens to me.
He hears my prayers and answers them.
2As long as I live I’ll keep praying to him,
for he stoops down to listen to my heart’s cry.
3Death once stared me in the face,
and I was close to slipping into its dark shadows.
I was terrified and overcome with sorrow.
4I cried out to the Lord, “God, come and save me!”
5He was so kind, so gracious to me.
Because of his passion toward me,
he made everything right and he restored me.
6So I’ve learned from my experience
that God protects the vulnerable.
For I was broken and brought low,
but he answered me and came to my rescue!
7Now I can say to myself and to all,
“Relax and rest, be confident and serene,
for the Lord rewards fully those who simply trust in him.”
8God has rescued my soul from death’s fear
and dried my eyes of many tears.
He’s kept my feet firmly on his path
9and strengthened me so that I may please him # 116:9 As translated from the Septuagint.
and walk before Yahweh in his fields of life.
10-11Even when it seems I’m surrounded
by many liars and my own fears,
and though I’m hurting in my suffering and trauma,
I still stay faithful to God and speak words of faith.
12So now, what can I ever give back to God
to repay him for the blessings he’s poured out on me?
13I will lift up his cup of salvation and praise him extravagantly
for all that he’s done for me.
14I will fulfill the promise I made to God
in the presence of his gathered people.
15When one of God’s holy lovers dies,
it is costly to the Lord, touching his heart.
16Lord, because I am your loving servant,
you have broken open my life and freed me from my chains.
17Now I’ll worship you passionately and bring to you
my sacrifice of praise, drenched with thanksgiving!
18I’ll keep my promise to you, God,
in the presence of your gathered people, just like I said I would.
19I will worship you here in your living presence,
in the temple in Jerusalem.
I will worship and sing hallelujah, for I praise you, Lord!

Psalm 116
Thanksgiving for Rescue from Death.
1I love the Lord, because He hears
My voice and my pleas.
2Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.
3The snares of death encompassed me
And the #116:3 Lit straitsterrors of #116:3 I.e., the netherworldSheol #116:3 Lit found mecame upon me;
I found distress and sorrow.
4Then I called upon the name of the Lord:
“Please, Lord, save my #116:4 Or soullife!”
5¶Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;
Yes, our God is compassionate.
6The Lord watches over the simple;
I was brought low, and He saved me.
7Return to your rest, my soul,
For the Lord has dealt generously with you.
8For You have rescued my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from stumbling.
9I shall walk before the Lord
In the #116:9 Lit landsland of the living.
10I believed when I said,
“I am greatly afflicted.”
11I said in my alarm,
“All people are liars.”
12¶What shall I repay to the Lord
For all His benefits #116:12 Lit uponto me?
13I will lift up the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of the Lord.
14I will pay my vows to the Lord;
May it be in the presence of all His people!
15Precious in the sight of the Lord
Is the death of His godly ones.
16O Lord, #116:16 Or because I amI surely am Your slave,
I am Your slave, the son of Your female slave,
You have unfastened my restraints.
17I will offer You a sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And call upon the name of the Lord.
18I will pay my vows to the Lord,
May it be in the presence of all His people,
19In the courtyards of the Lord’s house,
In the midst of you, Jerusalem!
# 116:19 Or Hallelujah! Praise #116:19 Heb Yahthe Lord!
