Psalms 116 - EasyEnglish Bible 2024（EASY）

Psalm 116Praise God who saved me from death

1I love the Lord,

because he heard me when I called to him.

2He listened carefully to me.

I will always pray to him,

for as long as I live.

3The danger of death was very near to me.

I was afraid of the deep hole of death.

I was very sad and upset.

4Then I called out to the Lord.

I said, ‘Lord, please save my life!’

5The Lord is kind and fair.

Yes, our God is very kind.

6The Lord takes care of helpless people.

I was in danger of death,

and he saved me!

7So now I know that I am safe again.

The Lord has been very good to me.

8Yes, Lord, you saved me from death!

My eyes no longer weep,

and I do not fall down to the ground.

9Now I will serve the Lord

here in this world where people live.

10I trusted in the Lord

even when I said, ‘I have much pain.’

11I was upset and I said,

‘Everybody tells lies.’

12The Lord has done many kind things to help me.

What can I give back to him?

13I will offer a cup of wine to the Lord,

to thank him because he saved me!

I will worship him.

14I will give to the Lord

everything that I have promised.

I will do that when all his people meet together.

15The Lord is sad when one of his servants dies,

because their lives are valuable to him.

16 Lord, I am truly your servant.

I am like a slave in your house.

You have saved me from death.

17I will offer a sacrifice to you

to say ‘thank you’.

I will worship you as Lord.

18I will give to the Lord

everything that I have promised.

I will do that when all his people meet together,

19in the yard of the Lord's temple.

Yes, I will worship you in your temple in Jerusalem.

Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
