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 have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,
2Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.
3Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find.
4And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,
5Gracious [is] Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God [is] merciful,
6A preserver of the simple [is] Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.
7Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.
8For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.
9I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.
10I have believed, for I speak, I — I have been afflicted greatly.
11I said in my haste, ‘Every man [is] a liar.’
12What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon me.
13The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.
14My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people.
15Precious in the eyes of Jehovah [is] the death for His saints.
16Cause [it] to come, O Jehovah, for I [am] Thy servant. I [am] Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.
17To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.
18My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,
19In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!
