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!

1I love the Lord for hearing me,
for listening to my prayers.
2Yes, he paid attention to me,
so I will always call to him whenever I need help.
3Death’s ropes were around me.
The grave was closing in on me.
I was worried and afraid.
4Then I called on the Lord’s name.
I said, “Lord, save me!”
5The Lord is good and merciful;
our God is so kind.
6The Lord takes care of helpless people.
I was without help, and he saved me.
7My soul, relax!
The Lord is caring for you.
8Lord, you saved my soul from death.
You stopped my tears.
You kept me from falling.
9I will continue to serve the Lord
in the land of the living.
10I continued believing even when I said,
“I am completely ruined!”
11Yes, even when I was upset and said,
“There is no one I can trust!”
12What can I give the Lord
for all that he has done for me?
13He saved me,
so I will give him a drink offering,
and I will call on the Lord’s name.
14I will give the Lord what I promised.
I will go in front of all his people now.
15Very dear to the Lord are the lives of his followers.
He cares when they face death.
16Lord, I am your servant!
Yes, I am your slave, as my mother was.
You set me free from the chains of death.
17I will give you a thank offering.
I will call on the Lord’s name.
18I will stand before the gathering of his people
and give the Lord what I promised.
19I will do this in Jerusalem,
in the courtyards of the Lord’s Temple.
Praise the Lord!
