Psalm 116
ISV Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionNew Living Translation
1I love the LORD because he has heard my prayer for mercy; 1I love the LORD because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy.
2for he listens to me whenever I call.2Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!
3The ropes of death were wound around me and the anguish of Sheol came upon me; I encountered distress and sorrow.3Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow.
4Then I called on the name of the LORD, "LORD, please deliver me!" 4Then I called on the name of the LORD: “Please, LORD, save me!”
5The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate;5How kind the LORD is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours!
6the LORD watches over the innocent; I was brought low, and he delivered me.6The LORD protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and he saved me.
7Return to your resting place, my soul, for the LORD treated you generously.7Let my soul be at rest again, for the LORD has been good to me.
8Indeed, you delivered my soul from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling.8He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9I will walk in the LORD's presence in the lands of the living.9And so I walk in the LORD’s presence as I live here on earth!
10I will continue to believe, even when I say, "I am greatly afflicted"10I believed in you, so I said, “I am deeply troubled, LORD.”
11and speak hastily, "All people are liars!"11In my anxiety I cried out to you, “These people are all liars!”
12What will I return to the LORD for all his benefits to me?12What can I offer the LORD for all he has done for me?
13I will raise my cup of deliverance and invoke the LORD's name.13I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the LORD’s name for saving me.
14I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.14I will keep my promises to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
15In the sight of the LORD, the death of his faithful ones is valued.15The LORD cares deeply when his loved ones die.
16LORD, I am indeed your servant. I am your servant. I am the son of your handmaid. You have released my bonds.16O LORD, I am your servant; yes, I am your servant, born into your household; you have freed me from my chains.
17I will bring you a thanksgiving offering and call on the name of the LORD!17I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.
18I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,18I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people—
19in the courts of the LORD's house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Hallelujah!19in the house of the LORD in the heart of Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
