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
1I love the LORD because he hears
my requests for mercy.
2I’ll call out to him as long as I live,
because he listens closely to me.
3Death’s ropes bound me;
the distress of the grave#116.3 Heb Sheol found me—
I came face-to-face with trouble and grief.
4So I called on the LORD’s name:
“LORD, please save me!”#116.4 Or my soul; also in 116:7-8
5The LORD is merciful and righteous;
our God is compassionate.
6The LORD protects simple folk;
he saves me whenever I am brought down.
7I tell myself, You can be at peace again,
because the LORD has been good to you.
8You, God, have delivered me from death,
my eyes from tears,
and my foot from stumbling,
9so I’ll walk before the LORD
in the land of the living.
10I have remained faithful, even when I said,
“I am suffering so badly!”
11even when I said, out of fear,
“Everyone is a liar!”
12What can I give back to the LORD
for all the good things he has done for me?
13I’ll lift up the cup of salvation.
I’ll call on the LORD’s name.
14I’ll keep the promises I made to the LORD
in the presence of all God’s people.
15The death of the LORD’s faithful
is a costly loss in his eyes.
16Oh yes, LORD, I am definitely your servant!
I am your servant and the son of your female servant—
you’ve freed me from my chains.
17So I’ll offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to you,
and I’ll call on the LORD’s name.
18I’ll keep the promises I made to the LORD
in the presence of all God’s people,
19in the courtyards of the LORD’s house,
which is in the center of Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD!
