Psalmen 116
BasisBijbel
Psalm 116
1 Ik houd van de Heer, want Hij luistert naar mij.
Hij luistert als ik Hem om hulp roep.
2 Hij luistert naar mij.
Daarom zal ik mijn leven lang Hem altijd om hulp vragen.
3 De dood had mij in zijn greep.
Ik was doodsbang en ten einde raad.
4 Maar ik riep de Heer om hulp:
"Heer, red me alstublieft!"
5 De Heer is liefdevol en rechtvaardig.
Onze God houdt van ons en zorgt voor ons.
6 Hij beschermt de hulpeloze mensen.
Ik was zó zwak geworden, maar Hij heeft me gered.
7 Ik hoef niet meer onrustig te zijn,
want de Heer is goed voor mij geweest:
8 Hij heeft mijn leven gered,
mijn tranen gedroogd,
mijn voeten beschermd zodat ik niet struikelde.
9 Ik mag dicht bij de Heer leven,
Hij heeft mijn leven gered.
10 Ik bleef op Hem vertrouwen – en dat bleef ik zeggen –
zelfs toen ik wanhopig was.
11 Ik bleef op Hem vertrouwen toen ik bang was
en zei: "Geen mens is te vertrouwen!"
12 Hoe zal ik de Heer kunnen belonen
voor alles wat Hij voor mij heeft gedaan?
13 Ik zal aan iedereen vertellen
wat de Heer voor mij gedaan heeft.
Ik zal Hem prijzen.
14 Ik zal de Heer de offers brengen die ik Hem heb beloofd.
Iedereen zal het zien.
15 De Heer vindt het leven van zijn vrienden kostbaar.
16 Heer, ik ben uw dienaar!
U heeft mij bevrijd uit mijn ellende.
17 Ik zal U dank-offers brengen en U prijzen.
18 Ik zal U de offers brengen die ik U heb beloofd.
Iedereen zal het zien.
19 Ik zal U die offers brengen op het voorplein van uw huis
in de stad Jeruzalem.
Halleluja! Prijs de Heer!
Psalm 116
New King James Version
Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death
116 I (A)love the Lord, because He has heard
My voice and my supplications.
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.
3 (B)The [a]pains of death surrounded me,
And the [b]pangs of Sheol [c]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 (C)Gracious is the Lord, and (D)righteous;
Yes, our God is merciful.
6 The Lord preserves the simple;
I was brought low, and He saved me.
7 Return to your (E)rest, O my soul,
For (F)the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
8 (G)For You have delivered my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from falling.
9 I will walk before the Lord
(H)In the land of the living.
10 (I)I believed, therefore I spoke,
“I am greatly afflicted.”
11 (J)I said in my haste,
(K)“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 (L)I will pay my vows to the Lord
Now in the presence of all His people.
15 (M)Precious in the sight of the Lord
Is the death of His saints.
16 O Lord, truly (N)I am Your servant;
I am Your servant, (O)the son of Your maidservant;
You have loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer to You (P)the 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 (Q)courts of the Lord’s house,
In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
[d]Praise the Lord!
