Psalms 116:1-19 HCSB I love the
LORD because He has heard my appeal for mercy.
2 Because He has turned His ear to me, I
will call out to Him as long as I live.
3 The ropes of death were wrapped around
me, and the torments of Sheol overcame me; I
encountered trouble and sorrow. 4
Then I called on the name of the LORD: "LORD, save
me!" 5 The
LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate. 6 The LORD guards the inexperienced; I
was helpless, and He saved me. 7
Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to
you. 8 For
You, LORD, rescued me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from
stumbling. 9 I
will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. 10 I believed, even when I said, "I
am severely afflicted." 11
In my alarm I said, "Everyone is a liar." 12 How can I repay the LORD all the good
He has done for me? 13 I
will take the cup of salvation and worship the LORD. 14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in
the presence of all His people. 15
The 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. 17
I will offer You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and will worship the
LORD. 18 I
will fulfill my vows to the LORD, in the very presence of all His people, 19 in the courts of the LORD's house--within
you, Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
