Psalms 116 [Commentary] [Map] 
|
| 1. |
I love the LORD, because He hears
My voice and my supplications.
|
| 2. |
Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live.
|
| 3. |
The cords of death encompassed me
And the terrors of Sheol came upon me;
I found distress and sorrow.
|
| 4. |
Then I called upon the name of the LORD:
"O LORD, I beseech You, save my life!"
|
| 5. |
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;
Yes, our God is compassionate.
|
| 6. |
The LORD preserves the simple;
I was brought low, and He saved me.
|
| 7. |
Return to your rest, O my soul,
For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
|
| 8. |
For You have rescued my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
My feet from stumbling.
|
| 9. |
I shall walk before the LORD
In the land of the living.
|
| 10. |
I believed when I said,
"I am greatly afflicted."
|
| 11. |
I said in my alarm,
"All men are liars."
|
| 12. |
What shall I render to the LORD
For all His benefits toward me?
|
| 13. |
I shall lift up the cup of salvation
And call upon the name of the LORD.
|
| 14. |
I shall pay my vows to the LORD,
Oh may it be in the presence of all His people.
|
| 15. |
Precious in the sight of the LORD
Is the death of His godly ones.
|
| 16. |
O LORD, surely I am Your servant,
I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid,
You have loosed my bonds.
|
| 17. |
To You I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And call upon the name of the LORD.
|
| 18. |
I shall pay my vows to the LORD,
Oh may it be in the presence of all His people,
|
| 19. |
In the courts of the LORD'S house,
In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD !
|
| |
Psalms 117 [Commentary]
|
| 1. |
Praise the LORD, all nations;
Laud Him, all peoples!
|
| 2. |
For His lovingkindness is great toward us,
And the truth of the LORD is everlasting.
Praise the LORD !
|
| |
Psalms 118 [Commentary]
|
| 1. |
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
|
| 2. |
Oh let Israel say,
"His lovingkindness is everlasting."
|
| 3. |
Oh let the house of Aaron say,
"His lovingkindness is everlasting."
|
| 4. |
Oh let those who fear the LORD say,
"His lovingkindness is everlasting."
|
| 5. |
From my distress I called upon the LORD;
The LORD answered me and set me in a large place.
|
| 6. |
The LORD is for me; I will not fear;
What can man do to me?
|
| 7. |
The LORD is for me among those who help me;
Therefore I will look with satisfaction on those who hate me.
|
| 8. |
It is better to take refuge in the LORD
Than to trust in man.
|
| 9. |
It is better to take refuge in the LORD
Than to trust in princes.
|
| 10. |
All nations surrounded me;
In the name of the LORD I will surely cut them off.
|
| 11. |
They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me;
In the name of the LORD I will surely cut them off.
|
| 12. |
They surrounded me like bees;
They were extinguished as a fire of thorns;
In the name of the LORD I will surely cut them off.
|
| 13. |
You pushed me violently so that I was falling,
But the LORD helped me.
|
| 14. |
The LORD is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.
|
| 15. |
The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous;
The right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
|
| 16. |
The right hand of the LORD is exalted;
The right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
|
| 17. |
I will not die, but live,
And tell of the works of the LORD.
|
| 18. |
The LORD has disciplined me severely,
But He has not given me over to death.
|
| 19. |
Open to me the gates of righteousness;
I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to the LORD.
|
| 20. |
This is the gate of the LORD;
The righteous will enter through it.
|
| 21. |
I shall give thanks to You, for You have answered me,
And You have become my salvation.
|
| 22. |
The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief corner stone.
|
| 23. |
This is the LORD'S doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
|
| 24. |
This is the day which the LORD has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
|
| 25. |
O LORD, do save, we beseech You;
O LORD, we beseech You, do send prosperity!
|
| 26. |
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD;
We have blessed you from the house of the LORD.
|
| 27. |
The LORD is God, and He has given us light;
Bind the festival sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.
|
| 28. |
You are my God, and I give thanks to You;
You are my God, I extol You.
|
| 29. |
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
