Psalms • Chapter 116

1 I love the Lord because he listens to me, he hears my calls for help. 2 I was caught in the snares of death; I was trapped by terrors of the grave. All I experienced was suffering and grief. 3 Then I cried out to the Lord, “Lord, please save me!” 4 The Lord is so kind and good! Our God (Elohim) is so compassionate! 5 The Lord takes care of those who are powerless; when I was brought down he saved me. 6 For you have saved me from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling. 7 I trusted in you, so I told you, “I'm suffering terribly!” 8 I was so upset that I said, “Everyone's a liar!” 9 What can I give the Lord in return for all he's done for me? 10 Lord, I really am your slave, serving you as my mother served you before me, yet you have set me free. 11 I will keep my promises to the Lord so everyone can see, 12 there in the house of the Lord, right in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
