Psalm 116:1-3
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Psalm 116
Thanksgiving for Recovery from Illness
1 I love the Lord because he has heard
my voice and my supplications.(A)
2 Because he inclined his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.(B)
3 The snares of death encompassed me;
the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
I suffered distress and anguish.(C)
Psalm 116:10-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 [a]I kept my faith, even when I said,
“I am greatly afflicted”;
11 I said in my consternation,
“Everyone is a liar.”(A)
12 What shall I return to the Lord
for all his bounty to me?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the Lord;
14 I will pay my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people.(B)
15 Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his faithful ones.(C)
16 O Lord, I am your servant;
I am your servant, the child of your serving girl.
You have loosed my bonds.(D)
17 I will offer to you a thanksgiving sacrifice
and call on the name of the Lord.(E)
