God, My Deliverer

116 I love the Lord
    because he has heard my prayer for mercy;[a]
for he listens to me whenever I call.
The ropes of death were wound around me
    and the anguish of Sheol[b] came upon me;
        I encountered distress and sorrow.
Then I called on the name of the Lord,
    Lord, please deliver me!”[c]

The Lord is gracious and righteous;
    our God is compassionate;
the Lord watches over the innocent;[d]
    I was brought low, and he delivered me.
Return to your resting place, my soul,
    for the Lord treated you generously.
Indeed, you delivered my soul from death,
    my eyes from crying,[e]
        and my feet from stumbling.

I will walk in the Lord’s presence
    in the lands of the living.
10 I will continue to believe, even when I say,
    “I am greatly afflicted”
11 and speak hastily,
    “All people are liars!”

12 What will I return to the Lord
    for all his benefits to me?
13 I will raise my cup of deliverance
    and invoke the Lord’s name.
14 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people.

15 In the sight of the Lord,
    the death of his faithful ones is valued.

16 Lord, I am indeed your servant.
    I am your servant.
I am the son of your handmaid.
    You have released my bonds.
17 I will bring you a thanksgiving offering
    and call on the name of the Lord!
18 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courts of the Lord’s house,
    in your midst, Jerusalem.

Hallelujah!

116 Amo o Senhor, porque ele ouve a minha voz
e as minhas orações.
Porque ele se inclina para ouvir,
orarei enquanto viver.
A morte me envolveu com suas cordas,
e os terrores da sepultura[a] me dominaram;
não via outra coisa senão sofrimento e tristeza.
Então clamei pelo nome do Senhor:
“Livra-me, Senhor!”.
O Senhor é compassivo e justo;
o nosso Deus é misericordioso!
O Senhor protege os ingênuos;
eu estava diante da morte, e ele me salvou.
Volte, minha alma, a descansar,
pois o Senhor lhe tem sido bom.
Ele livrou minha alma da morte,
meus olhos, das lágrimas,
meus pés, da queda.
Por isso, andarei na presença do Senhor
enquanto viver aqui na terra.
10 Eu cri, por isso disse:
“Estou profundamente aflito!”.
11 Em meu desespero, declarei:
“Todos são mentirosos!”.
12 Que posso oferecer ao Senhor
por tudo que ele me tem feito?
13 Celebrarei meu livramento[b]
e louvarei o nome do Senhor.
14 Cumprirei meus votos ao Senhor
na presença de todo o seu povo.

15 O Senhor se importa profundamente
com a morte de seus fiéis.
16 Ó Senhor, sou teu servo,
sim, teu servo, teu humilde servo;
tu me livraste de minhas correntes.
17 Oferecerei a ti um sacrifício de ação de graças
e louvarei o nome do Senhor.
18 Cumprirei meus votos ao Senhor
na presença de todo o seu povo,
19 na casa do Senhor,
no meio de Jerusalém.
Louvado seja o Senhor!

Psalm 116

I love the Lord,(A) for he heard my voice;
    he heard my cry(B) for mercy.(C)
Because he turned his ear(D) to me,
    I will call on him as long as I live.

The cords of death(E) entangled me,
    the anguish of the grave came over me;
    I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
Then I called on the name(F) of the Lord:
    Lord, save me!(G)

The Lord is gracious and righteous;(H)
    our God is full of compassion.(I)
The Lord protects the unwary;
    when I was brought low,(J) he saved me.(K)

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

For you, Lord, have delivered me(N) from death,
    my eyes from tears,
    my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before the Lord(O)
    in the land of the living.(P)

10 I trusted(Q) in the Lord when I said,
    “I am greatly afflicted”;(R)
11 in my alarm I said,
    “Everyone is a liar.”(S)

12 What shall I return to the Lord
    for all his goodness(T) to me?

13 I will lift up the cup of salvation
    and call on the name(U) of the Lord.
14 I will fulfill my vows(V) to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight(W) of the Lord
    is the death of his faithful servants.(X)
16 Truly I am your servant, Lord;(Y)
    I serve you just as my mother did;(Z)
    you have freed me from my chains.(AA)

17 I will sacrifice a thank offering(AB) to you
    and call on the name of the Lord.
18 I will fulfill my vows(AC) to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courts(AD) of the house of the Lord
    in your midst, Jerusalem.(AE)

Praise the Lord.[a]
