Psalm 116
NET Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleNew International Version
1I love the LORD because he heard my plea for mercy, 1I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
2and listened to me. As long as I live, I will call to him when I need help. 2Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
3The ropes of death tightened around me, the snares of Sheol confronted me. I was confronted with trouble and sorrow. 3The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
4I called on the name of the LORD, "Please LORD, rescue my life!" 4Then I called on the name of the LORD: "LORD, save me!"
5The LORD is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate. 5The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
6The LORD protects the untrained; I was in serious trouble and he delivered me. 6The LORD protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me.
7Rest once more, my soul, for the LORD has vindicated you. 7Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
8Yes, LORD, you rescued my life from death, and kept my feet from stumbling. 8For you, LORD, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
9I will serve the LORD in the land of the living. 9that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10I had faith when I said, "I am severely oppressed." 10I trusted in the LORD when I said, "I am greatly afflicted";
11I rashly declared, "All men are liars." 11in my alarm I said, "Everyone is a liar."
12How can I repay the LORD for all his acts of kindness to me? 12What shall I return to the LORD for all his goodness to me?
13I will celebrate my deliverance, and call on the name of the LORD. 13I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
14I will fulfill my vows to the LORD before all his people. 14I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
15The LORD values the lives of his faithful followers. 15Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants.
16Yes, LORD! I am indeed your servant; I am your lowest slave. You saved me from death. 16Truly I am your servant, LORD; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains.
17I will present a thank offering to you, and call on the name of the LORD. 17I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD.
18I will fulfill my vows to the LORD before 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 temple, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD! 19in the courts of the house of the LORD-- in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.
