Psalm 116

Thanks to God for Deliverance

^{Tools
1} I love the Lord because He has heard
my appeal for mercy.^(A)
^{Tools
2} Because He has turned His ear to me,
I will call out to Him as long as I live.^(B)

^{Tools
3}

The ropes of death were wrapped around me,
and the torments of Sheol overcame me;
I encountered trouble and sorrow.^(C)

^{Tools
4}

Then I called on the name of Yahweh:
“Yahweh, save me!”^(D)

^{Tools
5}

The Lord is gracious and righteous;
our God is compassionate.^(E)

^{Tools

The Lord guards the inexperienced;
I was helpless, and He saved me.^(F)

^{Tools

Return to your rest, my soul,
for the Lord has been good to you.^(G)

^{Tools

For You, Lord, rescued me from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling.^(H)

^{Tools
9}

I will walk before the Lord
in the land of the living.^(I)

^{Tools
10}

I believed, even when I said,
“I am severely afflicted.”^(J)

^{Tools
11}

In my alarm I said,
“Everyone is a liar.”^(K)

^{Tools
12}

How can I repay the Lord
for all the good He has done for me?^(L)

^{Tools

I will take the cup of salvation
and call on the name of Yahweh.^(M)

^{Tools

I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all His people.^(N)

^{Tools

The death of His faithful ones
is valuable in the Lord’s sight.^(O)

Lord, I am indeed Your servant;
I am Your servant, the son of Your female servant.
You have loosened my bonds.^(P)

^{Tools
17}

I will offer You a sacrifice of thanksgiving
and call on the name of Yahweh.^(Q)

^{Tools
18}

I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all His people,^(R)

in the courts of the Lord’s house—
within you, Jerusalem.^(S)
Hallelujah!
