Psalm 116:1-19 Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice & my [requests.] Because He has [leaned] His ear to me. Therefore, I will call upon Him as long as I live. The sorrows of death [surrounded] me & the pains of hell [got] hold upon me: I found trouble & sorrow. |
Then, I called upon the Name of the Lord; O Lord, I [beg] You, deliver my soul. The Lord is gracious & righteous. [Yes,] our God is merciful. The Lord [protects] the simple [minded.] I was brought low & He [saved] me. O my soul, return to your rest; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. |
[Isaiah 55:6-8 See you the Lord, while He may be found & you call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked [abandon] his [ways] & the unrighteous man, his thoughts. |
And let him return to the Lord & to our God & He will have mercy upon him; For He will abundantly pardon. For My thoughts are not your thoughts & neither are your ways, My ways, says the Lord.] |
For You have delivered my soul from death, [my] eyes from tears & my feet from falling. I will walk before the Lord, in the land of the living. [*Psalm 27:12-14 [Don't] deliver Me over to the will of [My] enemies: for false witnesses & [those who] breathe out [cruelties have] risen up against Me. |
I [would have] fainted, [except] I had believed, to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord & be of good courage & He shall strengthen your heart. I say, wait on the Lord.] |
I was greatly afflicted & I believed. Therefore, I have spoken. I said in my haste, All men are liars. [Psalm 31:22 For in my [hurry,] I am cut off from before Your eyes. [Still,] You heard the [sound] of my [prayers] when I cried [out] to You.] |
What shall I [give] to the Lord for all His benefits toward me? I will take the cup of Salvation & call upon the Name of the Lord. [2 Corinthians 6:2 (For He says, I have heard you in [an] acceptable time & [on] the day of Salvation I have [helped] you. [Look,] now is the [acceptable] time. [See,] now is the day of Salvation.)] |
I will pay my vows to the Lord now in the presence of all His people. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. [Revelation 20:4-6 And I saw thrones & [those who] sat upon them & [authority to judge] was given to them. |
And I saw the souls of [those who] were beheaded for the witness of Jesus & for the Word of God & [who] had not worshiped the Beast & his image & neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands. And they lived & [ruled] with Christ 1,000 years. |
But the rest of the dead [didn't] live again until the 1,000 years were finished. This is the 1st resurrection. Blessed & holy is he [who has] part in the 1st resurrection. On such, the 2nd death has no power, but they shall be priests of God & of Christ & shall [rule] with Him 1,000 years.] |
O Lord, truly I am Your servant. I am Your servant & the son of Your handmaid & You [have loosened] my bonds. [Isaiah 42:6-8 I, the Lord, have called You in righteousness & will hold Your hand & will keep You & give You for a covenant [contract for] this people, for a Light of the Gentiles; |
* To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison & [those who] sit in darkness out of the [prisons.] I AM the Lord. That is My Name. And I won't give My glory to another & neither My praise to [carved] images.] |
I will offer to You the sacrifice of Thanksgiving & will call upon the Name of the Lord. I will pay my vows to the Lord now in the presence of all His people, in the [courtyards] of the Lord's house, in the midst of You, O Jerusalem. Praise you the Lord. |
