Psalms 116 EASY

1. I love the Lord, because he heard me when I called to him.

2. He listened carefully to me. When I need help, I will always pray to him, for as long as I live.

3. The danger of death was very near to me. I became afraid of the deep hole of death. I was very sad and upset.

4. Then I called out to the Lord. I said, ‘Lord, please save my life!’

5. The Lord is kind and fair. Yes, our God is very kind.

6. The Lord takes care of weak people. I was in danger of death, and he saved me!

7. So now I know that I am safe again. The Lord has been very good to me.

8. Yes, Lord, you saved me from death! Because of that, my eyes no longer weep, and I do not fall down to the ground.

9. Now I will serve the Lord here in this world where people live.

10. I trusted in the Lord even when I said, ‘I have much pain.’

11. I was confused and I said, ‘Everybody tells lies.’

12. The Lord has done many kind things to help me. What can I give back to him?

13. I will offer a cup of wine to the Lord, to thank him because he saved me! I will worship him.

14. I will give to the Lord everything that I have promised. I will do that when all his people meet together.

15. The Lord is sad when one of his servants dies, because their lives are valuable to him.

16. Lord, I really am your servant. I am like a slave in your house. You have saved me from death.

17. I will offer to you a special sacrifice to say ‘thank you’. I will worship you as Lord.

18. I will give to the Lord everything that I have promised. I will do that when all his people meet together,

19. in the yard of the Lord's temple. Yes, I will worship you in your temple in Jerusalem. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
