AMP ▾Psalms ▾116 ▾Psalms 1161I love the L ord , because He hears [and continues to hear] My voice and my supplications (my pleas, my cries, my specific needs).2Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call on Him as long as I live.3The cords and sorrows of death encompassed me, And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow.4Then I called on the name of the L ord : “O L ord , please save my life!”5¶Gracious is the L ord , and [consistently] righteous; Yes, our God is compassionate.6The L ord protects the simple (childlike); I was brought low [humbled and discouraged], and He saved me.7Return to your rest, O my soul, For the L ord has dealt bountifully with you. [Matt 11:29]8For You have rescued my life from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from stumbling and falling.9I will walk [in submissive wonder] before the L ord In the land of the living.10I believed [and clung to my God] when I said, “I am greatly afflicted.” [2 Cor 4:13]11I said in my alarm, “All men are liars.”12¶What will I give to the L ord [in return] For all His benefits toward me? [How can I repay Him for His precious blessings?]13I will lift up the cup of salvation And call on the name of the L ord .14I will pay my vows to the L ord , Yes, in the presence of all His people.15Precious [and of great consequence] in the sight of the L ord Is the death of His godly ones [so He watches over them].16O L ord , truly I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid; You have unfastened my chains.17I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call on the name of the L ord .18I will pay my vows to the L ord , Yes, in the presence of all His people,19In the courts of the L ord ’ s house (temple)— In the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the L ord ! (Hallelujah!)Psalms 115Psalms 117
