Text -- Psalms 116:3-19 (NET)

Strongs On/Off
Context
116:3 The ropes of death tightened around me, the snares of Sheol confronted me. I was confronted with trouble and sorrow. 116:4 I called on the name of the Lord, “Please Lord, rescue my life!” 116:5 The Lord is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate. 116:6 The Lord protects the untrained; I was in serious trouble and he delivered me. 116:7 Rest once more, my soul, for the Lord has vindicated you. 116:8 Yes, Lord, you rescued my life from death, and kept my feet from stumbling. 116:9 I will serve the Lord in the land of the living. 116:10 I had faith when I said, “I am severely oppressed.” 116:11 I rashly declared, “All men are liars.” 116:12 How can I repay the Lord for all his acts of kindness to me? 116:13 I will celebrate my deliverance, and call on the name of the Lord. 116:14 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord before all his people. 116:15 The Lord values the lives of his faithful followers. 116:16 Yes, Lord! I am indeed your servant; I am your lowest slave. You saved me from death. 116:17 I will present a thank offering to you, and call on the name of the Lord. 116:18 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord before all his people, 116:19 in the courts of the Lord’s temple, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
