Salmos 116

Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death

1 I *Ps. 18:1love the Lord, because He has heard

My voice and my supplications.

2 Because He has inclined His ear to me,

Therefore I will call uponHim as long as I live.

3 *Ps. 18:4–6The pains of death surrounded me,

And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me;

I found trouble and sorrow.

4 Then I called upon the name of the Lord:

"O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!"

5 *(Ps. 103:8)Gracious is the Lord, and *(Ezra 9:15); Neh. 9:8; (Ps. 119:137; 145:17; Jer. 12:1; Dan. 9:14)righteous;

Yes, our God is merciful.

6 The Lord preserves the simple;

I was brought low, and He saved me.

7 Return to your *(Jer. 6:16; Matt. 11:29)rest, O my soul,

For *Ps. 13:6the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

8 *Ps. 56:13For You have delivered my soul from death,

My eyes from tears,

And my feet from falling.

9 I will walk before the Lord

*Ps. 27:13In the land of the living.

10 *2 Cor. 4:13I believed, therefore I spoke,

"I am greatly afflicted."

11 *Ps. 31:22I said in my haste,

*Rom. 3:4"All men are liars."

12 What shall I render to the Lord

For all His benefits toward me?

13 I will take up the cup of salvation,

And call upon the name of the Lord.

14 *Ps. 116:18I will pay my vows to the Lord

Now in the presence of all His people.

15 *Ps. 72:14; (Rev. 14:13)Precious in the sight of the Lord

Is the death of His saints.

16 O Lord, truly *Ps. 119:125; 143:12I am Your servant;

I am Your servant, *Ps. 86:16the son of Your maidservant;

You have loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer to You *Lev. 7:12; Ps. 50:14; 107:22the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

And will call upon the name of the Lord.

18 I will pay my vows to the Lord

Now in the presence of all His people,

19 In the *Ps. 96:8courts of the Lord’s house,

In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.

Praise the Lord!
