Psalm 116 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death.

Psa 116:1I love the LORD, because He hears
My voice and my supplications.
Psa 116:2Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live.
Psa 116:3The cords of death encompassed me
And the [fn]terrors of [fn]Sheol [fn]came upon me;
I found distress and sorrow.
Psa 116:4Then I called upon the name of the LORD:
“O LORD, I beseech You, [fn]save my life!”
Psa 116:5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;
Yes, our God is compassionate.
Psa 116:6The LORD preserves the simple;
I was brought low, and He saved me.
Psa 116:7Return to your rest, O my soul,
For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
Psa 116:8For You have rescued my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
My feet from stumbling.
Psa 116:9I shall walk before the LORD
In the [fn]land of the living.
Psa 116:10I believed when I said,
“I am greatly afflicted.”
Psa 116:11I said in my alarm,
“All men are liars.”
Psa 116:12What shall I render to the LORD
For all His benefits [fn]toward me?
Psa 116:13I shall lift up the cup of salvation
And call upon the name of the LORD.
Psa 116:14I shall pay my vows to the LORD,
Oh may it be in the presence of all His people.
Psa 116:15Precious in the sight of the LORD
Is the death of His godly ones.
Psa 116:16O LORD, [fn]surely I am Your servant,
I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid,
You have loosed my bonds.
Psa 116:17To You I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And call upon the name of the LORD.
Psa 116:18I shall pay my vows to the LORD,
Oh may it be in the presence of all His people,
Psa 116:19In the courts of the LORDS house,
In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
[fn]Praise [fn]the LORD!
