Psalm 116
Thanks to God for Deliverance
1I love the Lord because he has heard
2Because he has turned his ear to me,
3The ropes of death were wrapped around me,
and the torments of Sheol overcame me;
I encountered trouble and sorrow.116:3 Ps 18:4–5
4Then I called on the name of the Lord:
5The Lord is gracious and righteous;
6The Lord guards the inexperienced;
7Return to your rest, my soul,
8For you, Lord, rescued me from death,
my eyes from tears,
9I will walk before the Lord
in the land of the living.116:9 Ps 27:13
10I believed, even when I said,
“I am severely oppressed.”116:10 2Co 4:13
11In my alarm I said,
12How can I repay the Lord
13I will take the cup of salvation
14I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
15The death of his faithful ones
is valuable in the Lord’s sight.116:15 Ps 72:14
16
Lord, I am indeed your servant;
I am your servant, the son of your female servant.
17I will offer you a thanksgiving sacrifice
18I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
19in the courts of the Lord’s house —
Hallelujah!
