Psalms - Chapter 116 - New International Version
- I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
- Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
- The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
- Then I called on the name of the LORD: "LORD, save me!"
- The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
- The LORD protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me.
- Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
- For you, LORD, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
- that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
- I trusted in the LORD when I said, "I am greatly afflicted";
- in my alarm I said, "Everyone is a liar."
- What shall I return to the LORD for all his goodness to me?
- I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
- I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
- Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants.
- Truly I am your servant, LORD; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains.
- I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD.
- I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,
- in the courts of the house of the LORD — in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD. [^
