Psalm chapter 116

English Standard Version

1I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. 2Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live. 3 The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish. 4Then I called on the name of the Lord: "O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!" 5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; our God is merciful. 6The Lord preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me. 7Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. 8For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling; 9I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. 10 I believed, even when I spoke: "I am greatly afflicted"; 11 I said in my alarm, "All mankind are liars." 12What shall I render 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, 14I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people. 15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. 16O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds. 17I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord. 18I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people, 19in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
New International Version

1I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
2Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. 3The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
4Then I called on the name of the Lord: "Lord, save me!" 5The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
6The Lord protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me.
7Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you. 8For you, Lord, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
9that I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living. 10I trusted in the Lord when I said, "I am greatly afflicted";
11in my alarm I said, "Everyone is a liar."
12What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me? 13I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.
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.
16Truly I am your servant, Lord; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains. 17I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the Lord. 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.
New American Standard Bible

1I love the Lord, because He hears My voice and my pleas. 2Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live. 3The snares of death encompassed me And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow. 4Then I called upon the name of the Lord: 'Please, Lord, save my life!' 5Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; Yes, our God is compassionate. 6The Lord watches over the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. 7Return to your rest, my soul, For the Lord has dealt generously with you. 8For You have rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from stumbling. 9I shall walk before the Lord In the land of the living. 10I believed when I said, 'I am greatly afflicted.' 11I said in my alarm, 'All people are liars.' 12What shall I repay to the Lord For all His benefits to me? 13I will lift up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the Lord. 14I will pay my vows to the Lord; May it be in the presence of all His people! 15Precious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of His godly ones. 16O Lord, I surely am Your slave, I am Your slave, the son of Your female slave, You have unfastened my restraints. 17I will offer You a sacrifice of thanksgiving, And call upon the name of the Lord. 18I will pay my vows to the Lord, May it be in the presence of all His people, 19In the courtyards of the Lord’S house, In the midst of you, Jerusalem! Praise the Lord!
Christian Standard Bible

1I love the Lord because he has heard my appeal for mercy.
2Because he has turned his ear to me, I will call out to him as long as I live. 3The ropes of death were wrapped around me, and the torments of Sheol overcame me; I encountered trouble and sorrow.
4Then I called on the name of the Lord: "Lord, save me!" 5The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate. 6The Lord guards the inexperienced; I was helpless, and he saved me. 7Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you. 8For you, Lord, rescued me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. 9I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. 10I believed, even when I said, "I am severely oppressed."
11In my alarm I said, "Everyone is a liar." 12How can I repay the Lord for all the good he has done for me? 13I will take the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.
14I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people. 15The 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. 17I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord. 18I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people, 19in the courts of the Lord’s house— within you, Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
New Living Translation

1I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. 2Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath! 3Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow. 4Then I called on the name of the Lord: 'Please, Lord, save me!' 5How kind the Lord is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours! 6The Lord protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and he saved me. 7Let my soul be at rest again, for the Lord has been good to me. 8He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. 9And so I walk in the Lord’s presence as I live here on earth! 10I believed in you, so I said, 'I am deeply troubled, Lord.' 11In my anxiety I cried out to you, 'These people are all liars!' 12What can I offer the Lord for all he has done for me? 13I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the Lord’s name for saving me. 14I will keep my promises to the Lord in the presence of all his people.
15The Lord cares deeply when his loved ones die. 16O Lord, I am your servant; yes, I am your servant, born into your household; you have freed me from my chains. 17I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord. 18I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people —
19in the house of the Lord in the heart of Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
King James Version

1I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
4Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
10I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
11I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?
13I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
14I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.
15Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
16O Lord, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
17I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
18I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people,
19In the courts of the Lord'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
New King James Version
