Psalms 116:3-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 116
3The snares of death encompassed me And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow. 4Then I called upon the name of the Lord: 'Please, Lord, save my life!' 5Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; Yes, our God is compassionate. 6The Lord watches over the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. 7Return to your rest, my soul, For the Lord has dealt generously with you. 8For You have rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from stumbling. 9I shall walk before the Lord In the land of the living. 10I believed when I said, 'I am greatly afflicted.' 11I said in my alarm, 'All people are liars.' 12What shall I repay to the Lord For all His benefits to me? 13I will lift up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the Lord. 14I will pay my vows to the Lord; May it be in the presence of all His people! 15Precious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of His godly ones. 16O Lord, I surely am Your slave, I am Your slave, the son of Your female slave, You have unfastened my restraints. 17I will offer You a sacrifice of thanksgiving, And call upon the name of the Lord.King James Version

4Then I called on the name of the Lord: "Lord, save me!"
5The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate.
6The Lord guards the inexperienced; I was helpless, and he saved me.
7Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.
8For you, Lord, rescued me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
10I believed, even when I said, "I am severely oppressed."
11In my alarm I said, "Everyone is a liar."
12How can I repay the Lord for all the good he has done for me?
13I will take the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.
New Living Translation
Chapter 116
3Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow. 4Then I called on the name of the Lord: 'Please, Lord, save me!' 5How kind the Lord is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours! 6The Lord protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and he saved me. 7Let my soul be at rest again, for the Lord has been good to me. 8He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. 9And so I walk in the Lord’s presence as I live here on earth! 10I believed in you, so I said, 'I am deeply troubled, Lord.' 11In my anxiety I cried out to you, 'These people are all liars!' 12What can I offer the Lord for all he has done for me? 13I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the Lord’s name for saving me. 14I will keep my promises to the Lord in the presence of all his people.English Standard Version
Chapter 116
3 The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish. 4Then I called on the name of the Lord: "O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!" 5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; our God is merciful. 6The Lord preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me. 7Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. 8For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling; 9I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. 10 I believed, even when I spoke: "I am greatly afflicted"; 11 I said in my alarm, "All mankind are liars." 12What shall I render to the Lord for all his benefits to me? 13I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord, 14I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people. 15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. 16O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds. 17I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord.New International Version
4Then I called on the name of the Lord: "Lord, save me!"
5The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
7Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.
8For you, Lord, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
9that I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
10I trusted in the Lord when I said, "I am greatly afflicted";
12What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me?
13I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.
