Psalm 116
NIV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New International VersionInternational Standard Version
1I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.1I love the LORD because he has heard my prayer for mercy;
2Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.2for he listens to me whenever I call.
3The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow.3The ropes of death were wound around me and the anguish of Sheol came upon me; I encountered distress and sorrow.
4Then I called on the name of the LORD: "LORD, save me!"4Then I called on the name of the LORD, "LORD, please deliver me!"
5The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.5The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate;
6The LORD protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me.6the LORD watches over the innocent; I was brought low, and he delivered me.
7Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.7Return to your resting place, my soul, for the LORD treated you generously.
8For you, LORD, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,8Indeed, you delivered my soul from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling.
9that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living.9I will walk in the LORD's presence in the lands of the living.
10I trusted in the LORD when I said, "I am greatly afflicted";10I will continue to believe, even when I say, "I am greatly afflicted"
11in my alarm I said, "Everyone is a liar."11and speak hastily, "All people are liars!"
12What shall I return to the LORD for all his goodness to me?12What will I return to the LORD for all his benefits to me?
13I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.13I will raise my cup of deliverance and invoke the LORD's name.
14I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.14I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
15Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants.15In the sight of the LORD, the death of his faithful ones is valued.
16Truly I am your servant, LORD; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains.16LORD, I am indeed your servant. I am your servant. I am the son of your handmaid. You have released my bonds.
17I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD.17I will bring you a thanksgiving offering 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 house of the LORD-- in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.19in the courts of the LORD's house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
