Psalms Chapter[BR] 116

1 I love the LORD because He has heard my appeal for mercy.

2 Because He has turned His ear to me, I will call *out to Him as long as I live.

3 The ropes of death were wrapped around me, and the torments of Sheol overcame me; I encountered trouble and sorrow.

4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: "LORD, save me!"

Psalms Chapter[BR] 116

5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate.

6 The LORD guards the inexperienced; I was helpless, and He saved me.

7 Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.

8 For You, *LORD, rescued me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 116

9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

10 I believed, even when I said, "I am severely afflicted."

11 In my alarm I said, "Everyone is a liar."

12 How can I repay the LORD all the good He has done for me?

13 I will take the cup of salvation and worship the LORD.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 116

14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people.

15 The death of His faithful ones is valuable in the LORD's sight.

16 LORD, I am indeed Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your female servant. You have loosened my bonds.

17 I will offer You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and will worship the LORD.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 116

18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD, in the very presence of all His people,

19 in the courts of the LORD's house-- within you, Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
