Psalm 116
I love the Lord for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. The Lord protects the simple hearted; when I was in great need, he saved me.
Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.
How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord. I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.
Saved from death in answer to prayer the psalmist comes to make his thank-offering in the Temple. The memory of that terrible time when the grave 'closed in' on him, with fear and danger all around, is vividly present as he pours out his heart in gratitude to God.
Why?
The Lord is full of compassion and he saved me for his mercy, God is living for he heart my voice.
Be at rest, O my soul for the Lord has been good to me, God has given the way to me.
How can I repay to Lord? Praise his holy name and lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.
Even I am simple hearted man God protected me. Be humble and fear the Lord!
How?
Be at rest once more, O my soul! for God is gracious and righteous.
